Forgot to mention that I was visiting from Deep Roots at Home Link Up! :)

Good thoughts! Thanks for sharing! We have encouraged our kids to wait on the one that God has for them. One of my sons found his wife quite unexpectedly through hanging out with a group of friends in high school, as you suggested. They realized God had brought them together when they were still quite young! That was over 4 years ago and they just got married in June, at the young ages of 19 and 21! My oldest two daughters have committed to no casual dating and are still waiting on the Lord to bring them a husband at 28 and 26. God's ways and timing are not ours! But, they are always BEST! So much wisdom in waiting on Him to bring the Right One!

Great post! Respect is definitely missing today in the home and in all areas of society! But, it begins at home!! Thanks for sharing and for linking up at Marriage Monday!

Wow! What a Beautiful post! I was so blessed, inspired and even convicted by reading this! You have a fantastic outlook, lots of wisdom and are a powerful writer! You have captured the essence of the marriage and the family as God designed it, and you were spot on with your definition of feminism, by the way! ;)

I really love the way you said this: "My husband and I have a covenant agreement between us. Commonly, it is called a marriage. A marriage is intended to be an image of the redemptive work of Christ and the Church - Christ loving the Church, the Church loving Christ in return and both operating in their separate, dynamic roles to bring forth fruit."

That's good stuff! :)

thanks so much for linking up with me at Marriage Monday! I've really enjoyed my visit here!
