We usually dress alike when we minister together. Also there are times when wear the matching t-shirts or sweatshirts. As we recently travelled back and forth from the midwest, we wore our Married and Loving It! sweatshirts. Boy did we cause a stir. Most people think we are newlyweds. One gentleman asked this question, ''How did she get you to wear that?"
Most people do see marriage as something that must be endured, but Christ came that we might enjoy one another. Becoming one in marriage is a journey. In the process, we learn to become teammates, working together for a common good. Our sweatshirts are a symbol of what has happened in our hearts; two hearts becoming one. We work as one sharing all things. We listen to each other. We are very interested in each other's world. We will do whatever is in the best interest of the relationship. We wear our shirts because we love each other and choose to let the world know marriage can be exciting. Every time we “give of ourselves” to each other we are living out our purpose for marriage. No one has to force us to wear the shirts. We wear them because we want others to have what we have. We really are married and loving it!
