Today, I’ve been married for 515 days (but who’s counting, right?). And let me tell you that it’s been the best 515 days of my life!

For those of you who are lucky enough to know my wife, congratulations! You’re acquainted with an outstanding woman. And you’re aware of how lucky I am.

In fact, I just reviewed Proverbs 31, that famous chapter of the Bible that talks about a wife of noble character. Verses 11 – 29 offer a description of this woman. And out of those 18 versus, 16 are true of my wife! One verse doesn’t apply since we haven’t had children yet, and the other I can’t figure out what a distaff is or something about grasps the spindle with her fingers. So unless you can find a mother holding a distaff – my wife is the tops! And, by the way, I know verse 30 says beauty is fleeting, but she’s got that too. In case you were wondering.

For those of you who think I’m just brown-nosing here, think again. My wife doesn’t really keep up with my postings unless I tell her I wrote something hilarious and make her come read it. My wife really is all that and a bag of chips (low sodium, baked not fried, of course)!

If you’ve had any length of conversation with me at all in the last 515 days you’ve heard me say this… A friend of mine from high school, who got married just before I did, described marriage perfectly as I’ve experienced it. She said, “It’s like you get to have a slumber party with your best friend every night.” Seriously! These last 515 days have been the most fun and the most meaningful. It’s like God put her in my life as an instrument of joy and growth. Her voice and her smile make my heart feel like it’s gonna bust with warmth. And my love and devotion to this precious treasure keeps me focused on growing spiritually so that I can be the best possible husband for her. I literally do not have words to describe what a blessing she is.

Oh, and she smokin’ hot!
