AMAZING Marriages – Together We Are One
Life in Love //
I sit here with a feeling of melancholy. A feeling like I just want to give up, the big dreams we have are just too big. They stare at me in the face, written in ink in my moleskin journal. Host an AMAZING life escape, launch our AMAZING marriage project, share our message of Love and Service as a live webinar, change the lives of others, stop divorce, show that people can choose happiness, choose love, and have AMAZING lives. The audaciousness of these dreams weighs heavy on my mind.
And there my wife sleeps, calm and peaceful. Breathing in and breathing out. Together we chose this life, a life we own, but why do I feel sad. Shouldn’t I be excited and joyous?
Over the past two months we have done some truly AMAZING things. We went on an AMAZING 10 city cross country tour, we went to Punta Cana and shared our hearts with some of the most amazing souls in the world, and we spoke at our first conference just a few short days ago in Santa Barbara. We have been running at full steam without a moment to slow down. To soak in each other. To focus on what gives us the most strength in our lives, our marriage.
We tell others to go on date nights, but Saturday was the first date night we have had in awhile!
We tell others that big dreams can be accomplished but why are we afraid to live ours?
The thoughts race through my mind. The quietness of the early morning sounds louder than ever. I breath in, and on this day, I choose happiness, I choose love, I choose laughter, I choose to chase those hugely ambition goals.
Without disturbing her sleep, I slip downstairs. Quietly I begin to boil water. Fortunately I had ground some coffee the night before. Having just returned home and having not yet been to the grocery store, I can only find a little oatmeal and a few strawberries. But it is enough. I pour the now hot water over the coffee grinds and watch as the coffee gives fully of itself to the water.
As I climb back up the stairs I am eager for a new day together. She slowly wakes and smiles back at me. In my heart, I know today will be perfect. Today will be AMAZING. Together we are strong. Together, in our marriage, we have the power to achieve things we could not even imagine doing alone. Together we are perfect. Together we are ONE.
If you are thinking that your dreams are too big, if life’s fears are too strong, look to the one you love. Hold each other tight. Breath deeply and say these words. “Together we are perfect. Together we are ONE. No matter how hard life gets, it doesn’t matter because together we will get through it. Together we choose love. Together we choose happiness. Together we will make this life, our marriage, AMAZING!”
Have an AMAZING Monday!!!
