Forty Years a Wife
When I talk with engaged women or those about to be married, my recommendation to them is very similar to that which I offer to women already committed to a marriage—learn and apply Biblical law. It is the only means to know where the Rock is (along with the Holy Spirit’s guidance), let alone, how to stand on it.

From The Kingdom Driven Family Blog:
Forty years ago, I had no idea what marriage would really be like. Couple that with the fact that when I took the plunge, I was not walking in step with the commands of the Creator. In fact, I was in full-scale rebellion to the two Great Commandments and the Ten Commandments, and I was making decisions based on thoroughly humanistic standards.
A funny thing happened on this marriage journey. After almost seven years of floundering together to try to make our relationship work, we collided head-on with the living God. To say we were not seeking Him is an understatement. Yet, find us He did. Our lives as individuals and our commitment as a couple were transformed.
