"He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD." (Proverbs 18:22)
It was their golden anniversary party. The husband struggled to put his feelings for his wife into words. Since age had diminished her hearing, she often misunderstood what he tried to say. Surrounded by friends and family, the loving husband rose to offer a loving tribute. His voice heavy with emotion, he declared, "My dear wife, after 50 years I've found you tried and true!" Everyone smiled. The wife said, "What?" He repeated himself a bit louder: "After 50 years, I've found you tried and true!" His wife nodded briefly and responded, "Well, let me tell you something, after 50 years, I'm tired of you, too!" So you think you know your mate? After a few years of marriage, you know what kind of movies they like. You can predict with infallible regularity what they likely will order at a favorite restaurant. You may even know the size and color preference of their clothing. Yawn! You've been there, done that. Is there no mystery left? Consider these questions: What is your mates fondest daydream? What is their most terrible fear? What is their most significant goal for their life five years from now? If you want to practice loving your mate, get to know them better.

Funny for the week: I was telling my three boys the story of the Nativity and how the Wise Men brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh for the infant Jesus. Clearly giving it a lot of thought, my six-year-old observed, "Mom, a Wise Woman would have brought diapers." -- Angie Flaute
