Love at First Sight

[Furious_Love]

Do You Believe In It?

I don’t know how many people believe in this statement; from experience only, the first time I saw my wife to be was when I was quite young. We were out at a nightclub and as I entered the hall I saw her straight away and I did not hesitate to introduce myself. She is even more beautiful today than 28 years ago when we met.

I can only add that it was God’s will for our lives to be harmonious and fall in love. It is our 24th wedding anniversary this month and every moment I think of my wife I feel blessed that she would pick me to be her mate for life.

There have been rough times as all marriages do from time to time and we both agree it was the vows we held together endorsed by God to be over our lives that we survived the tough times.

I pray for young parents who are going through tough times that they may hear the voice of God speaking to them that it is not over yet. God would fight tooth and nail for your marriage to be strong. Too many families are being broken apart due to them thinking it is too hard, even when children are in the picture.

I came from a broken home. Maybe that could be part of why resilience has been the key in our marriage. Even being diagnosed Bi-Polar she has stood by my side.

I know I am rambling but just want to encourage young couples who may be experiencing difficult times to be strong together and love each other. You can’t change anyone but yourself.

May God Richly bless the young people who are married that they grow stronger and stronger in their love for each other. Bless You Lord for giving us the strength to fight the odds.

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

Yes, I believe in love at first sight, this was the case with my husband....drawn together through our mutual love for Jesus...into the most beautiful loving relationship.

Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned
Song of Solomon 8:7

...heirs together of the grace of life...
1 Peter 3:7

When Jesus is the centre of the relationship
Then love is made perfect in Him

Your post reminded me of this beautiful wedding hymn

O perfect Love, all human thought transcending,
Lowly we kneel in prayer before Thy throne,
That theirs may be the love which knows no ending,
Whom Thou forevermore dost join in one.

O perfect Life, be Thou their full assurance,
Of tender charity and steadfast faith,
Of patient hope and quiet, brave endurance,
With childlike trust that fears nor pain nor death.

Grant them the joy which brightens earthly sorrow;
Grant them the peace which calms all earthly strife,
And to life’s day the glorious unknown morrow
That dawns upon eternal love and life.

Hear us, O Father, gracious and forgiving,
Through Jesus Christ, Thy coeternal Word,
Who, with the Holy Ghost, by all things living
Now and to endless ages art adored.
