Proverbs 13:12 Tree of Life

Marriage is such a beautiful relationship and a gift from God. It's God’s design, created between a man and a woman.

Today was a beautiful day in my marriage to Nathan. Not only is my marriage and husband a gift from God but it is a blessing that my husband is a faith filled man of God. Over the 9 years of us being together I have had the privilege of watching my husband operate in faith. In his gift as an artist, as a entrepreneur, as a believer, and as a husband. His relationship with the Most High God is evident in every area of his life. 

Nathan is a just and upright man. The bible says that “Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. Hebrews 10:38″ As a result my husband is blessed in every aspect of his life. I have watched him succeed at everything he sets his hand to do. His steps are ordered and I see how God has protected him at every turn in our lives together.

Blessings are upon the head of the just..... Proverbs 10:6

Today I revealed to my husband that I have been struggling with the weight of past sins and how I feel like my sin has distanced me from God. I am godly sorrowful and repentant for sins I have committed. These sins have caused me spiritual repercussions that I would not have had if I had’ve remained obedient to the Word of God. I have confessed these sins to God and to my husband. Tearfully I approached my husband today and asked him to pray for me. 

My husband opened his arms to me in love and prayed for God’s forgiveness. Afterwards he ushered in the spirit of God by having us sing songs of thanksgiving to God. He dried my tears and told me that I am experiencing growth and that everything would be ok. 

I have a favorite worship song by Kari Jobe called “What love is this” where she talks about God always having open arms. During our wedding rehearsal speeches my husband promised to love me the way Christ loved the church. I really felt that promise today. Praise God!

What I haven’t said is that my husband and I have been divorced for 6 years. We have been reconciled and in a committed relationship for 4 years since our divorce. I have been praying with my church and christian friends for our complete reconciliation for the last 4 years. 

I know if I was married to a unbeliever my marriage would’ve been over completely a long time ago. The moment that I had today with my husband reminded me how important it is to be equally yoked with another believer. How Christ’s love can be shown through the way we love each other. 

I am truly grateful for my husband, for today, and how God brought us together in love. My prayers have been answered.
