God is amazing me with His invention of intimacy. I feel like He is just barely revealing it to me, giving me a taste, letting me know about the greatness that is coming. As Nestor and I open up to each other emotionally, verbally, spiritually, and physically, I am beginning to discover the beauty of vulnerability within marriage. Falling in love is amazing, I will always reminisce on our first days together with a smile, but being in love has no limits. There is no way to describe the way a husband and wife's hearts can become drawn to each other in such a close, sacred manner. I also find it incredible how my marital relationship with Nestor closely relies on our spiritual relationships with God. It is as if they are one. Before I got married, all those people who went out of their way to inform me that marriage was the end of love and romance were very wrong. Yes, marriage has ups and downs, and it is a lot of hard work. You have to work at it everyday in order to keep it moving forward, but that's the key. Marriage is what you make it. I think the day that I stop putting in extra effort is the day that I commit my marriage to failure. Anything worth having is worth working for. I love Nestor and our marriage is worth the work. I know that we have only been married a year and that kids are coming and will take up our time and energy, but just because I have yet to experience things such as these does not make me naive. I know it gets more difficult as time goes on, but there is no mold that I have to fit into. My marriage is what I make it. I am confident that as I continue to seek God, keeping my eye on the prize, I am going to continue to have a great marriage full of love and intimacy. That's what God has promise us, and I'm claiming it! (: So far marriage has been beautiful and it only gets better each passing day.
Blessings, friends...
