Happy, Happy Day

Happy Happy Anniversary Raleigh! 

I love you more today than I did the day we got married! It has been an amazing 6 years!

Raleigh's dad performed our wedding ceremony, and the words he shared about the mystery of marriage were beautiful.  For now, I will leave you with a few words from John Piper about marriage.  (If you are reading this Raleigh Jr. and you still have the message you shared during our wedding service, we would love a copy! :) :) 

"Marriage is not mainly about prospering economically.  It is mainly about displaying the covenant keeping love between Christ and his church.  Knowing Christ is more important than making a living.  Treasuring Christ is more important than bearing children.  Either way it is short.  It may have many bright days.  Or it may be covered in clouds.  But if we set our face to make of marriage mainly what God designed it to be, no sorrows and no calamities can stand in our way.  Every one of them will be not an obstacle to success, but a way to succeed.  The beauty of the covenant keeping love between Christ and his church shines brightest when nothing but Christ can sustain it."   -John Piper
