~THERE ARE NO PERFECT MARRIAGES, BUT WITH A PERFECT GOD, THERE CAN BE GREAT ONES!~
June 16 ,Matt and I celebrated 4 AMAZING years married. I love this man with all of my heart, and he loves me just the same. We don't have a perfect marriage, there are ups and downs, highs and lows just like everyone...but even in those times, I am amazed at how we work through things together. We are best friends and our respect , love, and appreciation for each other has very deep roots. I think what helps a lot, is our united love for God. NO matter what happens, when we pray together and focus on Him, it seems we are able to work through things quicker, easier, and see each other's area's of needed growth. There is never ONE day that either of us ever regrets our decision to marry one another. I feel so blessed to have found him, and to share this life with him. And he has shared with me these same feelings. Our goals, dreams, visions are one. Our love is one. Though we have our "quirks" we don't dwell on those..we focus on the positive in one another and when things are hard we try to remind each other of the good...our blessings. Do we always get along beautifully? No...no one does really. But I would say...90 % of the time we do. And for this...I am so grateful. On top of being the most loving and supportive husband and friend, he is just as equally an amazing father to our boys. They are loved deeply and they know it. He does so much with the boys! And he teaches them important life lessons. I am certain they will grow up with a strong bond to not only me, but their Dad. He cares about them deeply...he hates to be away from them and longs to be home more with them. Another attribute i'm so thankful for! This post is very overdue but here are some photo's from our anniversary and a Father's Day picture. In a world of strained marriages...I hope and pray we can continue to stay as close and in love as we are now. I welcome the challenging times, because so far...every one of the hard times that has pressed upon us has only driven us closer together, not apart. Thank you God for blessing my life and my family with this man , Matthew David Reynolds.Nothing that is different about us could ever drive us apart, it only makes us grow from one another and learn. He teaches me so many things and I do the same for him. Sometimes, opposites can bless each other! But, we are more alike then different. I prayed for a man that would love me deeply , love my sweet Logan as his very own (which he does!) and mostly, love God above all else. For loving God first is what God tells us to do, and is the only way! Loving Him first, is what helps us have a peaceful loving family. Sometimes I shy away from sharing how much I love my husband and family because so many people we know suffer in the relationships and marriages. But, why do that? If we have a blessed marriage isn't that something to be celebrated? I am thankful and grateful and will never stop being so. God can heal and fix any issue or problem in any marriage. It takes two submitting to Him, letting go of their feelings and opinions and allowing God to work in them. When both do that...healing and growth can happen.
May God bless your relationships and marriages, as He has to ours. Remember, it takes BOTH of you and God to heal, grow and keep falling madly in love! One thing Matt and I try to do, we aren't always perfect at it, but we don't point out each other's shortcomings over and over again. Now we are playful with each other and we may joke around, but never serious. Even if something bother's us, we strive to look past it and focus on what we love about each other. We aren't always good at it and there are times we get frustrated but..over all we do this and it really does create harmony in our marriage. It helps cultivate positivity when other parts of our lives (like work stress etc) can try to bring us down. Work together(on your marriage, on life, kids, be a TEAM), play together, and pray together, dream together and respect one another. One thing i told Matt that I LOVE about our marriage, is that we are a great team. If Logan wants him to go to the park to play , he goes with him in the evenings after dinner and I stay back and clean up dishes, etc. Or vis versa. We see the needs and we meet them together. Logan craves that time with him, and he loves to give that time when he can and I see that so , he goes and grows his relationship with his son and I help around the house. There are days when I cannot get up with Isaac in the morning due to not sleeping well and he gladly and lovingly takes him for me and lets me sleep in as long as I need. I just, am so thankful for our teamwork. I write this to encourage your marriages and relationships as well as, have this to look back on some day should we need too.
Thank you to those of you that pray for us and our children. And that have been a wonderful support to us through the years. We love you!
May God bless you abundantly!
Until next time,
~Meghan~
