“Ewwwww!”
That was Sara’s reaction when she saw Wayne and I kissing in the hallway last night. She then went on to say, “Ahhh guys, that’s so romantic…”
Our kids know their mom and dad love each other. They know that we are fiercely protective of each other. Sam and Sara have a front row seat to a caring, purposeful, God-centered marriage.
I’m not trying to brag.
To be honest, it’s actually a miracle we are still married based on our first five years of marriage. Without a doubt, we have fought very hard to have a marriage where we appreciate and enjoy each other.
And while we are not perfect spouses or have the perfect marriage… we are purposeful in showing our kids what a Godly husband and wife look like.
They need to see it… because the world is trying hard to redefine marriage.
And if we don’t show them, who will?
Sisters, we not only need to love our husbands… we need to show our kids what that looks like.

Cliff and I are trying our best to show the same thing to our boys.
What you said about being protective of each other struck a cord. My hubby has been so sweet about “protecting” me from the boys’ disrespect. If he hears one of them sass me or raise their voices, before I even have time to address it, he says to them, “Don’t talk to my wife like that.”
Lately, Cliff has been going thru some depression and I’m finding myself looking out for him. Guarding his much-needed rest times and garage time working on his wood projects.
I hope the boys see how we care for each other, and if my boys treat their wives the way Cliff treats me, my daughters-in-love will be blessed indeed.
Lee… I love that you all are so protective of each other. My husband says the same thing to my kids, “Don’t talk to my wife that way.” It’s so good for our kids to see that kind of protective love. What a great model of a Godly marriage you are showing your kids. They will be blessed!
