A Romans 8:28 Marriage

October 28, 1978

This year, my husband and I celebrate our 36th wedding anniversary. To remain married that long is indeed an accomplishment to be celebrated these days as sadly, so many marriages end in divorce. We truly must have had a marriage made in heaven…right?

I wish I could say that. At least it certainly did not begin that way, nearly ending in divorce after only ten short years.

Pull up a chair and allow me to share with you why I call our marriage a “Romans 8:28 marriage”.

"Winning Him without Words"

“…that they may be won without words by the behavior of their wives.” 1 Peter 3:1

You know the feeling of waking in the middle of the night in a room that is not your own--perhaps a hotel room, guest room of family or friends, even a waiting room. You become immediately disoriented—even frightened. But, after a few confusing moments, you finally recognize your surroundings and remember the reason you are in this strange place, as well as the purpose for your journey. 

Thirty-two years ago, I began a journey with my husband, and the pastor pronounced us “husband and wife”. I was a ‘professed’ Christian; my husband was not. Only minimally aware of the “unequally yoked” scripture from God’s Word, I imagined “I” could make my husband become what I needed him to be—even a Christian.
