I love being married and I love all of the good things that have come as a consequence of the decision we made many years ago to join our lives together to create a family.

Over the last few weeks, we’ve had the pleasure of watching our married children celebrate some special moments in their lives and it has given me great peace to see them working to build a bright future together.

Mostly, it has given me comfort to know that their children will be blessed forever by their efforts to have a firm marriage relationship at the center of their family!

When you become an empty-nester you’ll see what I mean! All of the time you spend nurturing and raising children is crazy and wonderful and demanding and an amazing challenge- but when your children move on to their own stories, you see that all of the time you spent working on your marriage was and is crucial! You still have each other and you get to love your adult children and grandchildren together, and that is the icing on the cake!

If you think about it, what ways can you see that you could make your marriage relationship more of a priority in your life now? How can you strengthen each other and create a bond so tight that the rest of the family can grow on the love they witness in you?

I hope my children can see and know the love and respect I have for their dad. He’s an amazing companion, leader, father, grandpa and friend.

I am so very grateful for our family. Nothing could bless me more.

I hope you are well and I hope that you are finding your way through the challenges of family life and feeling hopeful!

God bless you and yours!

Love,
Jacque
