What a great life

I have a great life and feel very blessed. I have the best wife in the world. She is the best woman I know. A woman of prayer and humility. I thank God for allowing me to marry her. I couldn't imagine living with anyone else. She is intelligent and beautiful. Though our backgrounds are very different those things that made us different made us for one another. I enjoy our conversations. I think that we are both open minded people and when we talk it is evident to me that I could not possible have been married to anyone else. Most of all she is an example of faithfulness. During our marriage their have been some discouraging times, I suppose every married couple has these times, but she has always had her focus on God. She doesn't worry like I do because of her reliance upon the Lord. She thinks about and internalizes her faith which manifests itself in her love of others and God. It is not just a part of her background that formed habits it is a life she lives. During my conversion I had hid a lot of things from her that were going on inside of me. She was raised Catholic and I didn't want to bring it up because I didn't want her to worry and there were other reasons. I see now that I should have opened up to her about what I was studying and thinking the whole time. I would imagine every husband looks back at one time or another and rethinks their actions. She has stood behind me and supported me in what I have decided but in the end it is me who stands besides her wondering if what I am doing will be the best thing for her. I take this seriously and know that in the end it will be God and my wonderful wife that will help me live a more faithful life. I have great life because I have a wonderful Lord and a wonderful wife.
