7 Years!

"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh." Genesis 2:24

Yesterday was mine & Bart's seventh wedding anniversary. The years have flown by since the time we were married. Seven years and three kids later, we still love each other like the day we married! For that I am so thankful.
The verse above always makes me think of a wedding. I would guess that almost every Christian wedding ceremony has this verse in it somewhere. I think we hear this verse so much that we kind of become desensitized to its importance. We hear this and think, "white dress, black tux, cake, rings, happily ever after" but it is so much more than that.
This verse shows us the sanctity of the bond that marriage creates. Looking at this verse with a fresh perspective helps that importance shine.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
