Today marks 13 years of marriage for Mark and me! Sometimes it still feels like we are playing house 🙂
I still love these passages of Scripture, read at our wedding:
1 Corinthians 13:4-13 (NIV)
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Philippians 2:3+4 (NIV)
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
What about you? What Scripture is most meaningful in your marriage? How do you prefer to celebrate anniversaries?
If your anniversary celebration includes a date night, then I want to share a few of our favorite date night questions currently 🙂
Love to you,
