A letter to a friend,

The following is a letter to a friend of mine.  He has been married longer than I have been alive.  I think they have a wonderful marriage.  It is not perfect but if anyone has gotten close to perfection they have.  I hope in the coming years I can be like Marty.  I want to love my wife like he does,  I want to serve my wife like he does, and I want to feel as loved by his wife as he does.  Enjoy:


Thanks Marty,

I do understand that marriage is not the end of the race but only the beginning.  Dating is only the streching before the race.  light work a little tense you feel for what you can do.  I have been told this week that marriage is a marathon. I can understand that.  I don't have any delusions that it will just like dating all the time.  I know that this intesity will die down.  To be honest I am looking forward to it. 

I look forward to the times when we can just be.  I am not looking for some one to date the rest of my life.  I want someone who I can share my joys and pains with.  Some one who I can talk to, hash out problems with, pray with, and cry with.

I feel at peace with her.   I feel connected to her spiritually. I think God has given me a chance at true happiness with her and I am going to take it.

There are movies that she doesn't like to see so if you would want to see them we can go.  Marty thank you for being a friend. Thank you for always being a blessing.  Your words and friendship mean the world to me

Bless you

Andy
