God's Plan for Marriage

We ordered this photo and haven't framed it yet, but we love how it captures the majesty of our special day.  Craig received me July 24, 2010....hmmm....shall we call him a "wife-receiver" as opposed to a wide receiver.  After all, I was always running full speed while we were dating, either towards him or away from him.  He caught me and is aiming to protect me all the way.  Don't wide receivers have to look at the ball all the way into their hands until they have it firmly grasped?  They quickly tuck it into the crook of their arm and they keep looking at it until it is fully tucked.  Finally, they look up and get set to run!  (that is if they are not already smashed into the ground).


My best friend is getting married in 3 months and I cannot wait for her to experience the pure joy that comes from the first few months of marriage.  Craig and I will always be newlyweds...I believe it's a feeling of choice and the idea of continually dating.  How neat is it that God designed a man and woman so perfectly that they may balance each other out!




"Then the LORD God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him."  So out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.  The man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for the man there was not found a helper fit for him.  So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh; and the rib which the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man.  Then the man said, "This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."  Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh."  Genesis 2:18-24
