This year we celebrate 10 years of marriage!!! I still remember asking the BIG question, knowing that she would say "yes!" I still remember seeing her walk down the aisle, feeling weak in the knees because of her beauty. I still remember declaring our vows in the presence of witnesses and in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I still remember being announced as "Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Gerth."
These past 10 years have been a joy. We still love each other and we love being married. We're still committed to each other and we're still best friends.
We have experienced more of God's grace in these past 10 years than ever before. We have drawn closer to Jesus in these past 10 years than any other time in our lives. Jesus has sustained us through sins, trials, conflicts, blessings, joys, kids, twins, moving once, then moving to Texas. We trust that He will continue to guide us to Africa....
...together.
congratulations! i hear that the strongest indicator of a successful marriage is friendship. Isn't it great to be married to your best friend?
