Marriage is a wonderful thing! It can bring so much joy and pleasant times, but it is not always easy. It takes work… individually and as a team.

When we first get married, we have dreams of what life with our love and life will be. We have plans, dreams and believe that our marriage will be different…we won’t be like other unhappy couples we know and certainly never argue.

Then life happens. You have that first argument. You are living with your love day in and day out. The things that you once adored are now driving you crazy. You also learn that true love takes on a different meaning.

We first see true love through immature eyes and it grows and it grows and matures into something different. True love isn’t all about the romance, flowers and dreams. True love can be doing something for your spouse that you don’t enjoy doing. It can be getting up with the kids at night so your exhausted spouse can sleep, even when you are exhausted yourself. Taking care of each other during sickness.  Putting each other first, loving and supporting each other, doing little things your spouse loves. It is the little things you do daily to show love and commitment, not just the special gifts and romance on Valentine’s Day.

I am delighted to be able to share with you words of wisdom from two people who are helping to change lives, Dr. Jack & Dr. Lavonne Atnip of The Encouragement Center. They have changed our lives and the legacy we will leave. I had the privilege of spending about a week in their home recently being encouraged by them and being able to encourage them. They live what they speak.

They have been mentoring others in all walks of life and all types of struggles for over 30 years.  Dr. Lavonne has become a treasured friend and mentor in my own life. Dr. Jack is a true example of how a husband should lead, love and serve his wife.

Update: Dr. Lavonne passed away in July 2015 after a short battle with cancer that she fought so bravely. I was so blessed to spend almost a week with both of them caring for her. The blessing I received was so amazing, watching the love they shared in action and the way Dr. Jack served her in her time of need. She touched many lives and her legacy will continue. Please remember Dr. Jack in your prayers.
