This guy. Article on how certain frienships can pollute your marriage.

 Grant Phillip Hungerford.  My Husband.  My best friend.  My lover.  My other half.  My dream come true. 

Marriage is the most valuable thing to me (beside my relationship to the Lord).  Marriage is the thing I keep most sacred.  I ran across an amazing article today and I wanted to share. 

It's from a couple I follow called Fierce Marriage.  I try to "like" marriage sites, godly women sites, anything uplifting.  Because seeing crap in my news feed all day long gets super old.  Another reason why I listen to only Christian radio.  I just want to be happy people and when I listen to garbage I feel like garbage.  Much like when I eat garbage I feel like garbage.  What we take in....we wear.  Whether on our bodies (hips) or through our personalities(attitudes). 

I'll see if I know how to link this baby up.

How Our Friendships Affect Our Marriage by Selena Frederick.

"Just like an infection on your body, some friendships eat away at you, and over time begin to kill (metaphorically speaking) the person God is molding you to be, which always (yes, always) 
affects your relationship with your spouse."

 
 
 
 













I am a firm believer that the purpose of marriage is glorify God.  In order to accomplish that He molds us and shapes us by showing the world that only through Him can we sustain marriage.  Can we live a healthy peace filled life.  I'm not saying life is not hard. In fact at times it's harder.  But ohhhhhhhhh so worth it.  This article got me thinking just how crazy it is that so many things in our environment affect our marriage.  For me eating is the worst.  If I am eating bad I. AM. A. JERK.  I kind of hate everyone.  Everyone.  (And currently,for another 9 days, work at a Christian workplace.  That doesn't make me any holier or different than anyone else.)  I am an emotional eater too so then I feel guilty and bad for being a jerk that I just want to eat more. It's a pretty viscous cycle.  I have learned in my weight loss journey how to manage that in a healthy.  However, I still don't always choose it.  Sometimes when I know I being a jerk I should lock myself in my room and only spend time with the Lord.  Reading his Word, praying, praising Him, anything along those lines. But I am human. In fact Colossians 3 should just be bookmarked.  Truly the whole chapter is where it's at.  And sometimes I choose to be selfish and to sit right where I am instead of seeking forgiveness and loving my husband the way I need to be.


Here we are after a month of dating.  I knew he was the one earlier than this picture.  But, this was the first time we had really taken pictures together.  Ummmmm, I love non serious traditional pictures.  He plays the game well. 

 Anyways, I better get back to it. I just mainly wanted to share that amazing article and am running out of words.
