WORLD CHANGING NORMAL 🤩 The Word is always there to bring us back, no matter how far we as a society have departed from it. 🙏 Jesus is King!

44:10 - Why? My husband and I met at an overseas location while Active Duty Military (USMC; USAF). We met at church, were engaged within 2 months of meeting, legally married within 4, and ceremonially married around month 7 where we consummated it. I think God put us together because: 1. Bring glory to God through our marriage and love and serve Him in Ministry. 2. Prevent us from continuing down a rabbit hole of sinful actions (Me out of asking IF God really condemns sex and trying to explore what it is without crossing the line. Him out of porn and a strip club before he was convinced to cross the line by someone else.) 3. To represent Jesus to eachother and have a tangible person we can go to to experience Love and Grace in our faults and poor actions. To pray and care for each other. To build each other up. 4. To love and train our 4 girls (0 boys) to Love, Honor, and Serve God. 5. To set an example for others to follow and show it is possible to be married as virgins (physically), sacrifice for each other, forgive eachother, and follow Jesus. That it's a whole lot better than the alternative "romantic" relationships, especially on mental health when done right.
