Today my wife and I celebrate twenty years of marriage. It has not always been easy, but it has always been worth it. I want to pause and give thanks for the gift of a love that has endured. We married young — too young, everyone said. We had no money, no plan, and no idea how hard marriage would be. But we had each other, and somehow that was enough. We have weathered things that would have broken weaker bonds. Financial hardship that lasted years. The loss of parents. A miscarriage that nearly destroyed us. Arguments that shook the walls. Silences that lasted too long. But for every hard season, there have been a hundred beautiful moments. The birth of our three children. Lazy Sunday mornings making pancakes. Dancing in the kitchen to old songs. Road trips where we got lost and did not care. Inside jokes that still make us laugh after two decades. She is my best friend, my partner, and the person I want beside me when the world falls apart. She has made me a better man simply by believing I could be one. This prayer is not asking for anything. It is a prayer of gratitude for a love that chose to stay, to fight, to forgive, and to grow. If you are struggling in your marriage, let our story give you hope — it gets better when you refuse to give up on each other.
