Marriage Monday

fruit in Season is our Hostess.
She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue...Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

How wonderful it is to be Married to a good friend. My friend knows me so intimately that he understands where words fail me.
His Embrace says it all. He honors me. It was he who saw me for who I am before it ever became the real fruit in mine own eyes. Now that I see me as he has always viewed me I am stunned I did not frustrate him beyond measure with the low view I had of my own self for so many many years. Never really believing his words over me and just thinking he must just be bias. He must have been so hurt so many times not to be believed when he spoke such love, such truths over me.
Listen to your husbands . What do they say about you? Is it true, I mean is it? If so receive what they have to say when they give edification to your soul. You will honor them. (likewise if it is a lie don't buy it!) Do you hope one day to see yourself through your own eyes the way they see you? Then even if you have to pretend believe them. Try it on. Hope that they never get to exhausted to tell us how beautiful we truly are.
How patient a love he has over me.
