Marriages I'd seen looked nothing like something I'd actually want to choose.
When Jason and I were dating and got serious we had a lot of conversations about my fears. Some of these conversations were heated, some were awkward, some emotional (well all of em were emotional on my end), but they always ended good. We would talk about Jesus being at the center. That when we got married we'd take issues to Him and ask for His help and wisdom. That we'd ask Him to help us grow and change and work on stuff. That we'd ask Him to give us perspective. And as we maneuvered through the dating process and started going to counseling and premarital classes-we continued to grow closer and closer together in the vision of what we wanted from a marriage- our expectations, our hopes of what our marriage would represent... what it would be...
Now two years into my marriage with Jason- God has given us a lot of wisdom, passion, hilariousness, patience, and tons of help with issues we've brought to Him.
Jason-I love...... loooove being your wife

Thank you this gives me so much hope for a happy future with a special someone.
I know what you mean about the lack of marriages that look like anything we would want. But I LOVE your conclusion that you've turned your fears into a passion for marriage! I feel the same way! Sometimes I see couples interact in ways that make me suspect they're unhappy, or just floating through their marriage, and prob haven't had sex in ages. I always feel a twinge of wishing that more couples would do what it takes to reconnect with their spouse, physically and emotionally.
