5 Years Of Marriage

Today is officially 5 years of marriage for Jeremy and I. What an incredible blessing it has been. It has honestly mainly been easy and smooth, which I think is for a reason (a couple of them actually). Jeremy and I had an extremely rocky dating relationship, where for 7 months we were broken up, with no plans of getting back together. In that time we both truly sought out Christ and His will for us individually and together. It was a really dark and hard time of my life. I struggled with depression and anxiety a lot during then, when I never had before.

Dealing with depression and anxiety is a tough prospect for anyone to have to go through. However, it is important to remember that there are a number of different solutions out there that can help you to manage your mental health. For example, a friend of mine has found that using products infused with CBD from Canada Cannabis Dispensary (https://www.canadacannabisdispensary.co/) has improved the symptoms of her anxiety. As with any natural remedy, it is fundamental that you do as much research as possible to make sure that alternative healthcare products are the right solution for you. Furthermore thanks to this Plus CBD Oil coupon and other discount codes, getting your hands on CBD products online has never been more affordable.

Anyway, as for us, once we got engaged everything felt a lot more “easy”, since we both felt right about it with God and with ourselves. That doesn’t mean there weren’t day’s where I would spiral in to anxiety of “is this 100% the right choice?!” But I felt so strongly that J was the man God wanted me to marry. I haven’t physically felt His presence much in my life, but one of the times I did was for when J was proposing. What a blessing to be able to be so certain of His will for your marriage!

Now, 5 years later-I can think of no greater way to explain the way that J loves me than this :
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, 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. (NIV) 1 Cor 13:4-8

He is patient with me even on the times that I am running late (which is his pet-peev, which also happens almost daily for me)
He is kind to me, to my heart, to my soul. He is kind even when I am not.
He isn’t jealous or envious when I go on girls trips or nights. He trusts me with all he is, so in turn he doesn’t worry about the nonsense.
He doesn’t boast/isn’t proud about ALL THE MILLION times he has been right about stuff when I have been so stupidly wrong. He never rubs it in my face.
He is the opposite of self-seeking. I swear this man puts his family and others miles before he puts himself.
J has yelled at me twice in the almost 9 years we’ve been together. Both times I was a FREAKING idiot and seriously needed someone to snap me back to reality (aka-soft words weren’t doing anything for the situation). This man doesn’t have an angry bone in his body.
For what an amazing memory he has, he still seems to keep zero record of all the wrong things I’ve done to him. Thankful for that daily.
He rejoices in truth with me daily. He rejoices in The Lord.
I grew up praying specifically for these last few things. To have a man who protects, trusts, hopes, perseveres, and never fails. The fact that my God has given all these things to me in Jeremy is just mind blowing.

He is the guy that BEATS that list you write up in middle school of all the things you hope for in a guy. He has a heart of gold. He loves The Lord and family and friends so well. He makes me feel cherished. He protects my heart from others, and from myself. He makes me feel beautiful. He is my one.true.love and I pray to God I get 50 more years to learn just that much more about him

J,
You are it for me. All I will ever need in a man. Thank you for loving me and Braylen with all of your heart. Thank you for choosing me, and continuing to choose me daily. I would be lost without you, in so many ways. You have my heart…happy five years babeh
