Just a few days until marriage!  I’m so excited.  I have been reading my notes from our relationship over the last 8 months (and a little before.)  I can’t believe how our relationship has grown. There are a few little sayings from Courtney that have stuck with me. I wanted to share them with you.

“I don’t want all of the ‘love’ to freak you out ;) ” It helps to understand if you know the context.  She sent me the lyrics to a song called “It Looks Like Love” This was when we were nervous about scaring each other off.

“Your Cute!”

“Divorce will never be an option for me. So if you can see replacing a marriage with the Ironman (or some awesome hunting competition) let me know. haha.”

“I didn’t like green tea at first. Then I acquired a taste for it.  And now I crave it!”  Then I say…. “Guess I’m like green tea.”

That is all of the “little sayings” for now!

marriageMy friend is trying something new at church.

During the “Prime Time” services, he looks for girls has never met.  He walks up and asks the question, “You want to marry me?”

So far he has had a lot of “NO’s” a few “MAYBE’s” and 3 Yes’s.  You may be surprised he forgot to stop after the first YES. I’m not…

Isn’t this post a great way to celebrate National Marriage Week.

Marriage Facts:

Married folks live longer, enjoy better health, greater personal happiness, more well adjusted children, and greater financial stability. (Fox News quoting research references from NationalmarriageweekUSA.org)

Only 28% of churches offer even 1 marriage course a year.  <– this is surprising
