I was a teenager when I began to pray for my future husband.
It was self-serving, really.
“Lord, I’d like him to be kind. And funny. It would be great if he was tall and handsome. Maybe dark features, too, Lord? If he is some other ethnicity, that would be cool. Tall, dark, and handsome…yeah, that’s what I’d like. And if he’s from an exotic place far, far away, even better.”
Isn’t the Lord patient with us? 🙂
Thankfully, He did bless me with a godly husband who also happens to be kind, funny, tall, dark, and handsome. And, yes, my prayers have matured through the years! Now it’s not all about MY wants, but my husband’s desires, too, and how we can glorify God through our marriage.
If you’ve been married long at all then you know it’s not always easy. Two different people, with two different histories and experiences coming together to become “one flesh” will endure some painfully trying times.

Good afternoon Jaime, I seem to be stuck. After sending my email and receiving the confirmation email, I haven’t yet received the downloads for the checklist and marriage bible study.
Yours in Christ ,
Ronnie
Looking forward to it
I would love to receive the free downloadable marriage bible study and checklist.

We are starting our 1st bible study as a couple (after 18 years) at the request of my husband. I’ve been working through one on my own but this time he wanted “in”. I’d love to have access to this brief study to get us started. Thank you.
