Marriage isn't what I had expected. I expected to never be bored. I expected sex to be easy and hollywood like. (I didn't actually expect this, I am smarter than that, but the hope did burn within my subconscious, nonetheless.) I expected it to meet all my selfish needs and interests. I also expected to never feel alone, however I learned how to not feel alone even before I met Vanessa.
But marriage isn't what I had expected. This isn't a bad thing. It is good. Just not on the level of my shallow desires.
Marriage is God's way of telling you that he loves you, the way you are. Yet it is also his way of letting you know its not good for you to stay the way you were. It is like giving an artist a new medium to explore and express themselves in. A medium that is much richer and more capable of conveying deep heartfelt meaning. I've traded in stick figures for oil paints. It is like you just discovered that someone else is more important than yourself. It is like your heart was tied down and is now free.
Marriage is exceptionally meaningful, encouraging, challenging and fulfilling.
I love being married.
I love my wife.
I love God for first loving me.
