I just want to celebrate on this day what God brought together as one. There is no real hand book on marriage. I mean there is the bible and other’s accounts and notes on their success and failures in their marriage but this is no guide to what we have endure so far. But today I wanted to thank you for keeping the start of our marriage on the right track in God’s eyes. For taking the lead when it was so hard to give and trust you with the lead. I mean in the bible it says that

The head

“For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.” Eph 5:23.

I don’t know about everyone else but for when the time I left my parents’ house it was me and the Lord. What the Lord wanted me to do I did and I still do. When we were dating I could take your opinion as advice. If I agreed with it or not at the end of the day it was what Indigo was going to do is what mattered to me. Now that we are married I’m not going to lie. I have struggled.

Submit

Ephesians 5:22 – Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

I remember the pastor preaching the message at church when I was a little girl. But now that I’m a wife I understand why the woman were looking at their husbands and thinking to themselves about submitting. Submitting is the hardest thing to do. I just learned (barely) how to submitted to God. Now since I took my marriage vows. I’m to submitted to my husband?

Wedding life or Marriage time

Like I said I’m not going to lie. I spent so much time while we were dating trying to show you how much I was the right fit for you. Why you needed to marry me. How your life would be without me if you made the wrong decision in not marrying me. That I failed to prepare myself to being in the moment of really being your wife if the lord told you yes you could marry me. I didn’t prepare myself to be submit myself until you as your wife because I didn’t think that far.

Yes I knew I was going to be a good wife once the time came. But I was so forces at the time with white dresses and partying the night away with my new last name I didn’t take into account that I had just punch in on the real work time clock.

I think so many young people embrace the party clothes, and the party of the wedding that they don’t think past the wedding night. I didn’t think that once being so independent thinking that I was by myself, handling things by myself that God would bless me with a mate that would be so strong and compassionate all in one breathe.

Thank you

That you’re the brake to my wining race. The stitches to my healing sore. I truly thank God for you because you are helping me to grow as a person. Who would have thought that we would had to lean on each other for support as my mom passed away or through the loss of our unborn child? You been there though the stress of college. Through the new beginnings of jobs and the leaving of jobs. You been there one when I felt lost and depleted. You didn’t let me sink into depression when I was just ready to give up and lay in bed. I thank God for you. I thank God that we dated for 4 years. I thank God for molding a man like you in his image. I thank God that you don’t try to take away from my relationship with God. That this is what brought us closer.

Important dates

I thank God for Aug 14, the day he made you. Oct 2009 the month you found me, Nov 15, 2009 the date Indigo and Jonathan became an item. Dec 15, 2013 the day you proposed to me. April 15, 2014 the day you made me your wife. Thank you for believing enough in God to know that he made me just for you. Like I told you when I first seen you that you were the made God made for me because I see you in my dreams (pretty smooth). Tho it did take you a little longer to admit I was right. Thank you.

The first thing out of your mouth this morning was ‘happy anniversary sweet heart!’ and I don’t mind hearing this for the rest of our lives. I love you Hunny Bunny. For the man you are. For the man your mother, aunt, grandmother, and best friends made you to be. The man God created you to be.

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Ephesians 5:25

From you loving wife,

Indigo (Booboo) Metellus
