At 41, I honestly did not think I would ever get married.Β Nearly a decade had passed since my last date.Β I chose to not worry about it though.Β If God wanted me to be a wife, then certainly he would send me a husband.
In early 2008, I partnered with two other singles at my church to start a small group.Β Our focus was to serve β each month we would put feet to our faith in our community.Β Our group leader gave me a ride to our first event β we would help organize the monthly clothing drive at our churchβs homeless ministry The Refuge.Β On the way there, we chatted easily and laughed frequently.Β Was there a spark?Β βLord, are you doing something here?β I thought.

I love this! It is so true, if only more women would realize that marriage is about serving our husbands we would have stronger marriages and thus a stronger nation! Thanks for sharing!
Leah, thanks for stopping by! Jesus came as a servant, so I do think this is one of the keys to a successful marriage. My husband really does better than I do here — he has the gift of helping.
