15 months of marriage! I can honestly say that it has truly flown by. One of our wedding presents was a journal to document the miracle of marriage. I sat down the other night to document and realized that I haven’t documented much. :) Not to say because there has been no miracle—because there has—but because there is so much that happens, it’s hard to keep up with all the documentation!
My best friend told me that she realized after a year or two of being married that she actually loved her husband more than when she had first married him. Being that I’m not really a “hopeless romantic” I remember thinking, “okay, whatever.” But, even in just these first 15 months of being with my best friend, I now am realizing what she meant. This truly is the miracle of marriage: that I love my husband more today than I did the day I married him.
How does this phenomenon occur? I cannot explain it. Maybe it comes from the teamwork spirit we have in working through issues. Maybe it comes from all the shared experiences we have. Maybe just from being in the presence of one another most all the time! Whatever it is? It truly is a gift from God to experience a love that represents His love for us—one that grows each and every day.

Rob and I were talking about this same thing the other night. We were talking about how seven and a half years ago we were committed to one another and said we loved one another, but we could be so self centered! We did not understand how to love one another. We did not get it. I cannot explain it either. I think that's why so many in Hollywood divorce--they just never get to that deep love of serving one another.
