Beyond the "I Do"

praisepianist:

Obviously love and marriage go hand in hand. 1 John 3:16 says, “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.” Jesus’ death for our sins was a love expressed through blood and tears and pain. Wow. Not exactly the heartwarming love we find in Disney movies. But you know, that’s the only kind of love that I want. Even if I never meet a man who loves me like that, one man already has two thousand years ago, and still does to this day. That is why I praise my Father for arranging my marriage, why I will marry for more than love.

I am so thankful I waited and prayed for a love like this. Nothing is more satisfying than knowing that Christ is the center of our relationship. I am truly blessed. 

Seriously, wait for the right guy. Settling just leaves you bruised and burned in the long run. Waiting for the right guy is the most incredible part of life. 

i pray for every single one of you and the man that is waiting for you as you wait for him. the wait may be the hardest part, but completely worth it. believe me.
