Why not?
For some time we’ve been thinking about creating a blog to share our thoughts and lives with friends and family. With the impending birth of our first child, we suddenly find ourselves with many new thoughts and feelings stirring in our hearts.
Marriage and family are by nature private matters, with much that is guarded and protected from outsiders (including friends and extended family!). But they are also public in many ways. We hope to walk a fine line of keeping much private while making public that which ought to be public – especially that which is beneficial to others and which honors our Lord.
When husband and wife become one, a new creature springs into being – a marriage. Scripture says that marriage speaks loudly about how humans are created to live, about how they should relate to one another, and even about God himself:
“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. [Ephesians 5:31-32]
If this is true, then marriage, in all its triumphs, challenges and disappointments, is a Sacred mystery.
Our marriage is far from perfect, but it is a marriage. So let’s see what we can learn from one another!
