After months of talking about it, Amy and I went ring shopping this past Monday and picked out her engagement ring and our wedding bands
It isn’t every day that someone goes and tries on wedding bands, and it was pretty mind blowing
Public Opinion Is Split 50/50
My friends are split when it comes to the pace of this wedding, mainly because Amy and I have only known each other for seven months, and because there are some considerable gaps in our life experiences
My main response is that it feels right, and that despite the abruptness of our June wedding, I feel so happy and comfortable with Amy that I don’t want to wait long to get married considering that we, and others, have prayed about it extensively and it has overwhelming come through that God brought us together
“If You Are So Sure, Why Not Wait?”
One of my best friends has told me that I am potentially making a huge mistake by rushing into marriage
And. while I admit there is an obsessive part of my brain that wants to get married and live the Disney-esque fantasy of “happily ever after”, I can truthfully say that I have thought things through and know that what exists between Amy is everything I have ever wanted in terms of romance, spirituality, friendship, and chemistry
Is Everything Really THAT Perfect
Yes
Yes it is
Back From NY, Always On The Same Page
Ever since Amy and I met, our thinking has been on exactly the same page, and we have been able to discuss all sorts of things without getting upset, angry, or even annoyed with each other
There is a real, deep rooted trust that allows us to interact with each other in a way where we always give each other the benefit of a doubt, and think the best of each other no matter what
Maybe we will fight some day, but I can’t imagine over what
While we were in NY we weren’t consumed with going out and partying, eating somewhere insanely unique or doing other things that a lot of people might want to do if they had a few days in NY
Instead, we sat in bed, worked, exercised, and gabbed about the future amidst conference calls, software reviews, and various other work related activities, then when we got home we spent time praying and drawing near to God
I can’t even begin to express how much fun I have with Amy, and I never thought I could be as happy as I am now; God knew what he was doing putting us together, so I am both overjoyed and thankful!
The strength that comes with being together in a God focused relationship is something that I had no way of understanding until I entered into this relationship, and I can’t advise Christians enough that dating spirit-filled, sincere Christians is where true happiness exists
Don’t compromise on this for anything!
