Paul and I feel like the Lord broke all the "relationship" norms with our relationship. He threw timing out the window and daily shows us that He has something much bigger in store for us-individually and as a couple. While we are just approaching the 3 month mark, the Lord is definitely teaching us about our faith, His provisions, His promises and how to navigate this thing called marriage.
John and Staci Eldridge hit the nail on the head in their book "Love and War" (we attended their marriage conference based on the book but have not started the book quite yet). They assert that marriage is set in a war zone because we live in a world set against it. In addition, the Lord makes men and women so intrinsically different that "it's like taking Huck Finn and Cinderella, and locking them in a submarine together."
I have to admit that I love being Cinderella in this analogy, and actually really love that I married my Huck Finn....it's the being locked in the submarine together that keeps me clinging to the Lord for guidance, direction and support.
Enjoy the whirlwind with us...and hold on because with the Lord in charge, nothing is impossible!! Amen!!!
