I was just putting the dishes away in my fiance's kitchen. He lives in a cozy duplex in Dallas, complete with PS4 and XBox 360 and all the things you'd expect from a bachelor vinyl and movie fanatic. In a few months, this will be my home. I was marveling at this, and then realized that I don't know where all of the utensils go. I don't know which drawer things go in, or all the little nooks and crannies we store things in, that we know in our heads but that others would never guess. How sweet it is, to not know my way around. Just like I don't know my way around marriage. Such innocent days, these are.
We've chosen the harder path, to not know each other completely, and to trust God and each other that He will see it through. We didn't "test drive" this relationship. We are doing our best from what we know in part, and in part we will learn as we go. In marriage this won't be his house, anymore. It will be our house. For good or bad, better or worse. Struggling with bills or not. It won't be my way or his way. We'll have to find our way.
And God help us, we will.
Merry Christmas, everyone! Pray for us!
