Day 424

Good afternoon!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  This weekend Chris and I have the opportunity to go to a Marraige retreat.  It is sponsored by Family Life.  I am excited!  WE are excited.  :)  It will be good for us.  I really like this quote above.  No relationship is all sunshine, but two people can share one umbrella and survive the storm together.  You also need to be able to be able to be close to each other in close quarters without getting easily aggravated.  Sometimes the umbrella can get a little tight, depending how long the storm lasts. Forgiving is a big factor in a relationship as well.  A happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers.  A perfect marriage is two imperfect people who refuse to give up on each other.  So I am getting ready to learn about myself, about us.  What we can do to strengthen our relationship with each other, with God.  Here we go.  Have a great day!
