Thirty Years of Wedded Bliss
Posted in Family on 21. Jun, 2010
At 5:00 pm tonight Texas time thirty years ago, I married my best friend. I married the man of my dreams. I married a man who would love me through thick and thin…lean times and abundant times…pretty times and ugly times. I married a man who would be the father of my five children and the grandfather of my seven precious grandbabies. (I can’t ever talk about my grandchildren without using the word “precious”!) I married a man who loves Yeshua with all of his being and is not satisfied with anything less than giving his life to search out the mysteries of God. I married a man who would show me what it means to love God’s people unconditionally, even through offenses. I married a man who would show me what it means to be fiercely loyal no matter what storms might come. I married a man who would show me what humility looks like. I married a man who believes the best in everyone and does what it takes to make them successful. I married a man who would give his life for his family and love them with a fierce love. I married a man who would do anything and go anywhere to be in the will of God. Our life in Israel and Belgium is proof of that.
I could go on and on, but I think you get the picture. I am beyond blessed to be his best friend and wife. Thank you, honey, for thirty wonderful years. I’m eternally grateful.

I can honestly say that it has been thirty years of wedded bliss….difficult circumstances at times, yes, but always a joy to be married to my best friend. I love him more than words can say…..
Very dear tribute. Gary is an amazing man, and God gave him and amazing woman. Wayne and I have been enriched by your lives, your love of family and the body of Messiah, and your commitment to God. Happy Anniversary.
Thank you for the sweet words, Bonnie. It’s great to have good marriages, huh?!
Wow! Thirty years!
I can’t believe it’s been 30 years since we were trying so hard to keep you from knowing about the brown instead of burgundy groomsmen tuxedos as you waited in that little nursery room in the gym building to walk down the aisle. AND YOU NEVER KNEW!!!!! It was a beautiful wedding! It’s been a beautiful example of a loving, trusting, Godly marriage. Thank you, Mom and Dad
I LOVE MY PARENTS!!
I second that….I LOVE MY PARENTS!!!! Great blog mom! So sweet! Happy Anniversary!
