Seven years ago Kris and I stood in her parent's back yard and became man and wife. Seven years seems like a long time. We have both grown over those seven years. As we change and grow older our relationship evolves and changes. I think this is a really challenging part of marriage(mostly for Kris). What happens when that exciting, perceptive and spontaneous young man I married turns into a dull, insensitive and all-too-predictable middle aged guy? Not an envious position huh? One of the things I love about Kris is that her words count. When Kris took the marriage vows with me I knew that she was not taking them lightly. Saying those words meant that they were truth and that she was now with me and were together. Whatever happens after that will be informed by that truth and I know that she will be my wife no matter how I screw up. She has shown me grace and taught me loads about how to forgive. I love her and look forward to spending the rest of my life with her.
