There goes your freedom.
She will change you and have you trained in no time.
Remember Michael, it goes, “yes wife, whatever you say.”
I waited to get married till after I had fun.
Oh, it’s only like this because you are “newly weds.” Just wait five years.
She will own you.
There goes your friends.
Michael and I have only been married only a little over three months. These comments, mostly from those who have been or are married, have really hurt me. It saddens my heart that so many have such a negative and restrictive view on marriage; however, marriage has been the most amazing happening in my life.
To Michael:
Thank you so much! By solely committing to you I have had more fun and have a sense of freedom than I have ever felt before. It is amazing how much you encourage me to do what I love. You NEVER have told me I couldn’t go for a dream and you never have restricted me from growing in my friendships with other girls in my life. I love the change that you made to follow Christ in your life not too long ago. I love that you never did that for me; therefore, I know that your belief and actions are pure. I love serving other people with you. I love that you have not bogged down our lives with the stresses of earthly securities. You seem to bring conversation to the crazy, adventurous, non-routine, free life that God has given to us rather than focusing on how we can get our dream home by 40, or what it will take to retire years from now. Responsible as you are, you are so bold to live extreme for God. Life with you has been anything but boring. You have brought the best and the worse out on me. I am thankful that you brought the worse out in me. I need to rid of the worse (for the sake of our fellow world racers). =) I love that you lead our relationship. That with integrity you challenge me to grow closer to Jesus. I love how much you love Jesus!

Marriage with Michael is beautiful. Marriage with my Jesus is even more beautiful. Even though I still wonder why some people have chosen to marry with such a negative view, I pray that God can use our marriage to shed a NEW fun, a NEW freedom, and a NEW joy. It seriously ROCKS!!
