Stephanie and Tristan celebrated their 7th anniversary a couple of days after Christmas.

Happy Anniversary, kiddos.  You were a beautiful couple on the night you wed and you have grown into a gorgeous and God-blessed family.  I am so glad you chose each other and that you keep choosing the covenant.  This is why it working for you!  The wedding was magic – full of promise and vows, dancing and love in winter white and candlelight.  The marriage is a tribute to the joy you have found in loving and living and having babies and doing ministry and life together.

Love you, admire you…Mom

Ephesians 5:24-28 (The Message)

Wives, understand and support your husbands in ways that show your support for Christ. The husband provides leadership to his wife the way Christ does to his church, not by domineering but by cherishing. So just as the church submits to Christ as he exercises such leadership, wives should likewise submit to their husbands.

Husbands, go all out in your love for your wives, exactly as Christ did for the church-a love marked by giving, not getting. Christ’s love makes the church whole. His words evoke her beauty. Everything he does and says is designed to bring the best out of her, dressing her in dazzling white silk, radiant with holiness. And that is how husbands ought to love their wives. They’re really doing themselves a favor-since they’re already “one” in marriage.
