About Us
We have been friends for 15 years, married for 7 years, and parents for 6 years. So it is safe to say we have journeyed through quite a bit of our life together. If we have learned one thing, it is that, people are infinitely unique and bring widely different ideas, interests, skills etc.. Marriage calls for two of these people to love each other, work together and figure out everything else as they face the craziness of life. There are no rulebooks, specific path, or blue print to follow. This is probably the greatest struggle of a marriage.
“Love is never something ready made, something merely ‘given’ to man and woman, it is always at the same time a ‘task’ which they are set. Love should be seen as something which in a sense never ‘is’ but is always only ‘becoming’, and what it becomes depends up on the contribution of both persons and the depth of their commitment.”
― Pope John Paul II, Love and Responsibility
Love never is, but is always only becoming. This is one of the most important lessons for a successful marriage. It invites the husband and wife to a life long journey of learning and striving to love. Looking back at our 6 years of marriage, we can see how much our love has matured and grown and ‘become’ what it is through each of us striving to bring our unique contributions, blessed by the grace of the sacrament of marriage. And our love and marriage continues to evolve as we learn more about ourselves and each other and go through different stages of life. It has become a beautiful journey that we cherish and one that we now get to share with our children and one we hope to share with each one of you through our little blog.
