...complex personalty issues...

a really good friend of mine, jeni, and i are going to be reading and discussing together a book by a favorite author of ours- Stormie OMartian- The Power of a Praying Wife. its been years since i've read this book and as i pulled if off the bookshelf today i noticed that the book was colorcoded with hi-liters in every color of apparently really important things i wanted to remember, things that were impressionable on my mind... and you know it was interesting as i started to read the foreward how i could have possiblY missed such a profound statement written by michael o martian- stormie's husband. this is what it said

"after twenty-five years of marriage to stormie, there aren't any phases of my complex personality left for her to discover."

wow! maybe that doesn't grab you the way it did me, but shouldn't the purpose of marriage be exactly that! i mean- wow! jas and i just recently went through the 5 love languages and it was such a cool thing to evaluate how we are "speaking" to each other, and we learned so much about our relationship and what we've needed to work on love language wise :0 and where we're doing well. so anyway, my goal in writing all this is to say, i'm so excited to re-read this book again and glean "pearls" about how God wants to grow me by teaching me how to pray more specifically, intimately for my husband. i can't wait to share on here, all that i'm learning so "i'll keep you posted...."
