LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Hear what I’m not saying: it ain’t been perfect. We have failed each other countless times. Sometimes big, mostly small. So just know I’m not trying to paint this all rosy.

Do we have a secret to our success? Several, actually, and none of which depends on one of us individually. I’ll share two:

We share a faith in Jesus. We confess to trusting Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and to raising our kids to know and love God. Such a strong foundation for when life goes sideways, because it means we have grace!
We attempt to believe the best of each other until proven wrong. On a daily basis, this attitude prevents many unnecessary conflicts and builds up the other person, adding a warm, comforting layer of security around a relationship. I highly recommend it in all marriages and close friendships.

Happy 21st, honey!
