Quiet love. It does not boast, shout, or scream. It does not throw itself at you or to you but just quietly, lovingly, gives.
.
It is a freshly brewed coffee in your favorite tumbler left on the counter for you to find.
.
It is a warm smiling face at the door at the end of a long working day that welcomes you home.
.
It is taking your very enthusiastic child downstairs for breakfast so you can get a couple more minutes of sleep.
.
It’s a whispered, “I’m so proud of you” in your ear as you work late at night and a glass of vitamin c.
.
It’s changing the wipers on your car and noticing that your holder needs replacement.
.
Our marriage is mended and fought for not always in the big and loud, sometimes our marriage is weave and woven in all the little things.
.
A meal from home cooked from scratch and sitting down together, laughing with the child we dreamed of.
.
Climbing into bed late at night to snuggle in that perfect space that fits your body just so.
.
We fail and fight and give and take and try try try again.
.
My hope is that as you read this, that you are reminded that love is a hundred million times of saying I do and I love you and I choose you over and over again.
.
I will hold you in the highest regard, I will find you in deepest and darkest hard, I will show up in sickness and health, for richer or poorer, till death do us part.
.
I will show up in every season and believe and trust and grow with you.
.
I will choose I do when it feels good and when it doesn’t.
.
I will choose you.
.

“The truth is that the more intimately you know someone, the more clearly you’ll see their flaws. That’s just the way it is. This is why marriages fail, why children are abandoned, why friendships don’t last. You might think you love someone until you see the way they act when they’re out of money or under pressure or hungry, for goodness’ sake. Love is something different. Love is choosing to serve someone and be with someone in spite of their filthy heart. Love is patient and kind, love is deliberate. Love is hard. Love is pain and sacrifice, it’s seeing the darkness in another person and defying the impulse to jump ship.”

There are seasons in every marriage, seasons of harvest and seasons of drought, seasons of easy, and seasons of hard. Times you come together, and times you almost sort of fall apart.
.
And after nine years, I’ve learned that there is a so big God that orchestrates and leads us both. To greener pastures, to oasis in the desert, to calm in the storm.
.
I think of this as we fight for our marriage in front and behind closed doors. The constant and the heart work, the easy and the so hard, the choosing I do again and always.
.
The secret is, you have to keep fighting. You have to keep clawing and trusting. You have to promise again and again that no matter what, you will find each other.
.
In the crazy and in the so so good. In the exhaustion and the joy. In the “my marriage looks nothing like that” and in the “but my marriage is so much of this”.
.
Beyond the perfectly crafted highlight reels of someone else lies your messy, complex, beautiful, redeemed, marriage.
.
We are all this messy, complex, beautiful, redeemed marriage.
.
Stubbornly fighting against and for each other.
.
Choosing love, choosing joy, and choosing steadfast again and again.
.
A boy that asked will you and a girl that said I do.
.
The face of marriage our teeny tiny so big little girl will come to know and seek and associate so do good mama and daddy.
.
So choose love.
.
So choose to see the good.
.
So try, then try again.
