Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them." Ephesians 4:2: “Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love." 1 Peter 4:8: “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins." John 15:12: “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you."

Getting through The first year of marriage is always the toughest.But yet the most beautiful. you and your spouse by now have discovered new things about each other. Sharing the good times , bearing the hard times , trusting in the love of God to continue to light the way. Being in a relationship teaches us the meaning of loving each other no matter what.  but marriage teaches us the meaning of loving each other for what we are a cord of three. Remember the beauty of marriage is not always seen from the very beginning  But rather as the love grows and develop over time. I am convinced that nothing can sperate us from the love of God. Every year you grow as couple and you learn more and more about each other as the years pass on by. Surviving the first year is a great accomplishment. Simply because of the marriage adjustment you and your spouse will go through as a newly married couple. The first year is a transition period. So be ready to learn , compromise, and adjust to each other. Work through your differences and think as we , not I. Focus on the needs of your spouse , yourself and your marriage . Always improve the good . Learn from bad experiences that occur in the first year and all throughout your marriage. Connect and make time for each other. your spouse and marriage should be your priority over family , hobbies , and your career. One of the hardest part of a first year marriage is reconciling expectations with reality .Own your fears and do let it affect your relationship.. never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved. A life filled with love must have some thorns , but a life empty of love , will have no Rose's. May God be with you and bless you with 50 plus years in your marriage .May you see your children's children , may you be poor in misfortune , rich in blessing.  may your life be filled with Joy from this day forward. A true love story never ends.
