11 years ago...we stood before family and friends and said 'I DO'! It has been one amazing ride, this thing called marriage! I have been blessed with a WONDERFUL husband...he's just the best! NO, we're not perfect and our marriage isn't perfect either. But through the grace of our Father, HE is molding us and our marriage into something more beautiful every day! It breaks our hearts to see so many troubled marriages in the world around us. Marriage is sacred, it is not to be taken lightly, it is forever....and because we believe that with our whole hearts, we press through the tough times and come out closer and more in love than before.
Gen 2:24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
Happy Anniversary, Babe...I STILL DO!
Ho’ao Pule (Hawaiian Marriage Prayer)
E ka Haku, e kokua mai ia maua e ho’omana’o i ka manawa a maua i launa mua ai,
Lord, help us to remember the time we first met,
a me ke aloha nui i ulu ai ma waena o maua.
and the strong love that grew between us.
E kokua mai ia maua e ho’ohana i kela aloha i na mea ma’amau i ‘ole e ka’awale
Help us to apply that love in practical things so nothing divides us.
Ke nonoi ha’aha’a nei maua i na hua’olelo ‘olu’olu a piha me ke aloha,
We humbly ask for kind words filled with love,
a no na pu’uwai makaukau mau e noi i ka huikala, a e huikala aku.
and for hearts always ready to ask forgiveness, as well as to forgive.
E ka Haku, ke waiho nei maua i ko maua male’ana i loko o koa lima. ‘Amene.
Lord, we leave our marriage in your hands. Amen.
