A wife...

A wife is one who shares her husband's thoughts; incorporates his heart in love with hers, and crowns him with her trust. --Henry Van Dyke

My mom got Andy and I each a book on Praying God's Promises for one another for Christmas. I opened up my book today and opened to this quote. We'll be celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary this year. I look at all we've been through, our goals that we have together, our goals that we have apart, and I look at our relationship. It's changed so much in 10 years...we still have some of the same struggles with our families, but we've learned to go forward together and not care so much. It's funny how we can happen to say things together at the same time or finish one another's sentences and then look at each other and laugh. We're always learning things about each other that we never knew before even after being together for almost 12 years. We take each other for granted at times and have to be reminded not to do that. We know how important it is to keep the communication lines open, yet we sometimes forget to do that with how busy things tend to get around here. But, deep down we always know how much we're loved and we're making it a goal this year to focus on remembering to show one another all the time how much we love one another and not take each other for granted so much. I know deep down that I have a husband who loves his family tremendously and I trust him with all of my heart. I hope he always knows how much I truly love him and I hope that he can always trust me as well.
