Today Laura and I are CELEBRATING 25 years of marriage! December 8th 1984 Laura and I said I do and committed to a life together...what a ride!
While there is no doubt we have been blessed with a great marriage and are more deeply committed to each other than ever, marriage is not always "Bliss". In fact marriage can be filled with a lot of "Bliss--ters".
You know what a blister is, its that annoying little irritation that can bring a lot of pain. Marriage can be filled with "Bliss-ters" those annoying little irritations that CAN bring a lot of pain.
If you have a blister on your heel from that new pair of shoes and you leave it unattended it will fester and grow and could result in long term damage to your foot...don't want to go into what gangrene looks like!
The same is true about marriage "Bliss-ters". We ALL find things about our marriage or spouse that annoy and irritate and as a result we have to attend to the problem.
Just like a blister on the foot, marriage "Bliss-ters" require the right kind of attention. "Dress" your marriage "Bliss-ters" with the salve of loving communication and the bandage of Grace and you will find it healing in no time.
While we're celebrating today, we're also dealing with a "Bliss-ter"...just keepin it real friends just keepin it real!
Here's to 25 years with my BRIDE!
