Hollie and I returned this past Saturday night from Los Cobos, Mexico where we celebrated our 10 year anniversary together. I will say - it was the best week of my life.
We had each other to our full attention for the entire time and we never got tired of each other for one moment. Hollie wrote me such an awesome note when we returned basically saying that it was great to get to know each other on that level all over again. That is such a great way to put it - although we love each other and live together and enjoy each other - there are so many "other" things and people that pull our attention away - that we fail to just enjoy each other - for who we are individually and then together.
I personally learned so much and I was renewed in my relationship with God and with my wife. I believe that there is a very clear and strong tie - in our relationship with God and our spouse - because in Ephesians 5:22-33 we find that marriage between a husband and a wife is how God describes the relationship between Jesus and His Church (PEOPLE!).
I learned that even though it is good to want to DO and BE everything that God wants - He really wants me - my heart. I also am learning what Hollie has wanted me to "get" for a while now - exactly the same - yes, she wants me to be a good husband, father, help around the house, do the right things - but what she really wants is just me - my heart.
And when God and Hollie have me and my heart - the other things come right along with it.
