Often comedians make whole careers out of making light or fun of their marriage or marriages . On TV shows being married is often ridiculed and looked upon as a curse. For men its a ball and chain. For women it is putting up with a "child".
But marriage is a honorable ,divine decree. God is the one who instituted marriage. It is a good thing .
[22] He who finds a wife finds a good thing
and obtains favor from the LORD.
(Proverbs 18:22 ESV)
Today is my 23rd wedding anniversary. The image I have of that day is my bride walking down that aisle in a vision of beauty.There was a moment that it seemed to be just her and me . It was truly a magical day .
As I look back on our years together , I realize how blessed I have been to have had her given to me by God. As Proverbs reads , truly I obtained favor from the Lord. She blessed me with 2 sons , Jacob and Jordan. She has stood beside me through think and thin. She has forgiven me much, encouraged me ,stood by me in failures and cheered for me in victories , been my best friend,lover, counselor and yes , she makes me smile. I enjoy waking up next to her still. I love spending time with her .
It has been 23 years with many ups and downs . Tears and laughter. But through it all she has made me a better man . So for all my wife as done for me , here is to you babe . Your the best .

Thanks Honey. I love being married to you, too. I'd rather spend my time with you than anyone else. I definitely looked better than I did on our 20th. Thanks for all the work you've done to help me be here, 3 years later, and for a wonderful 23 years. By the way, Happy Birthday, Sweetie. Love you, Mrs Reg
