We were only married a year and a half when we started our family and we had developed a wonderful relationship. Our new baby just help it to grow even more. I do think that if couples wait too long that they become too set in their ways and it's harder to adapt and grow together. Thanks for sharing with SYC.<br />hugs,<br />JannHave a Daily Cup of Mrs. Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15446091501170762899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-553871403635498898.post-86796054542509150052014-08-22T10:01:48.794-05:002014-08-22T10:01:48.794-05:00Beautiful post!

Let me add that while children are a wonderful reason to work out a marriage the standard for a Christian is higher.<br /><br />Several years ago statistics came out stating that Christian couples married between 20-25 years were the 2nd highest rate to divorce. (1-5 years was the first). Obviously, at that point most of the children are grown and out of the house therefore those that stayed together for the children now felt justified to divorce.<br /><br />The Christian marriage is even more than the children or the family – it is about giving God glory. The Christian marriage is not about “me” or even “we”. It is all about “He”! Wives are to submit to their husbands “as unto the Lord.” It is all about Him! Husbands are to love their wives, “even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it.” Again, it is all about Him! When we view our marriage in light of the testimony we are giving to the unsaved world, it greatly motivates us to have a God-pleasing marriage.<br /><br />You have a beautiful family and I feel honored to know you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-553871403635498898.post-76487015929634572002014-08-21T08:38:23.598-05:002014-08-21T08:38:23.598-05:00Beautiful thoughts!
