To The ReaderIn 2005, my husband and I celebrated our fifteenth wedding anniversary. That same year, my sweet younger cousin-in-law, Molly Rutherford, became engaged. The Lord used both of these factors to put me in a “reflective state of mind” concerning marriage.“What have I learned during these years of my life?”“What does God want me to keep learning and applying?”“What words of wisdom could I give to a young married woman?”I began to answer each of these questions in the form of letters written to Molly. The fifteen(really sixteen) letters are to her, but for all. I hope each one will bring you closer to your Savior, Jesus Christ. Always remember, He is the cornerstone of your marriage. I share these letters with you from a humbled position, knowing full well that I am still in the learning process as I walk the road of life with my husband … “But one thing I do, forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 2:13-14). Marriage is an upward call of God; Christ Jesus will help you fulfill it.
For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is i who say to you, "Fear not, I am the one who helps you." Isaiah 41:13
Dear Lord,
Remind us that you are near. You want to help us in our daily life decisions and our current struggles. May we believe this truth and walk dependently with you. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
