I love this! I struggle with this some days. It isn't that I want to belong to anyone else. I only want my husband forever. The problem is I want to be MINE. I want to control things and all that. I come from a family of feminists who think I am totally looney. lol But I know that when I am HIS and his everything is so much more peaceful in my life. Funny how doing things God's way always makes things better.

That was a great post. I loved what you said, "loving a person just the way they are is no small thing". So true! My husband and I have our really good days, then of course have our REALLY bad days. We are both very committed and never EVER talk of splitting, but it can be sooo hard sometimes. I was lead here by Mrs. Montoya. I love your blog, now following you on twitter :) .-= Crystal´s last blog post ... FAB Friday- Elizabeth =-.

[...] I’m Not on My Own – A great post about marriage. This is so true. And I have to say I hate when those thoughts come into your head into your marriage that start with “if only…” [...]

We will celebrate our 15th anniversary in April, and I can honestly say that I love my husband more than ever. It has not come easily, but with sacrifices on both sides we have kept our vows.

My mom divorced my dad after 18 years of marriage. She divorced my first step-dad after 18 years of marriage. Does generational sin concern me? Yes, but only to the point of knowing that the enemy would like nothing less than to destroy our lives by my giving in to the selfishness I'm so prone to.

Following the command to "guard your heart" is paramount in marriage.

Great post, and great song. I am just starting to realize how this whole "I'm his" thing is supposed to work! It finally sunk in this weekend that he is my authority… I can't let myself think that I know better than he does, or that I can do things better… that's poison to our relationship! If there's something I'm better at, he knows that, and will give me those responsibilities… I do not need to force him to :)

I was just discussing this with my sister. My how we need to hear these things OVER AND OVER again! Love is hard. Just look at 1 Corinthians 4-9. Patient, kind, not easily-angered, not proud, etc. This stuff is no joke! We need God's strength and wisdom each and every day.
