Man I feel like a bit of an outcast here, but I absolutely adore my wife, and I am SO thankful to God for her everyday. I know this sounds a bit "brand new couple" and "fairy tale-ish", but it was not at all. I have been with my wife for almost 21 years (in December) and am 38 years old. We met in high school and started going out in 1997. Man we have grown up together our whole lives. By no stretch of the imagination was it perfect, but by the power and will of God we loved each other and stayed together. We have been nonbelievers together, she was saved while I was an atheist, she was saved while I was a false Christian, and after many struggles, test, heartaches, children, jail time, fights, and everything life dealt us, And by His glorious hand we are both now reborn believers in our Lord Jesus Christ together, and I could not imagine my life without this woman next to me through it at all. I thank God for every second he blesses me with her, because we never know when it will be our last. I know He has a plan for each one of us, and they are all very different, but I pray that everyone that seeks a partner to spend their life with is blessed the way He has blessed me with my wife.
