THE ALTAR WAS NEVER THE FINISH LINE.
Many of us walk down that aisle thinking that once we say "I do," the hardest part is over. We think the building is done.
But the truth is, beloved... the altar isn't the finish line. It's the starting block.
After 15 years of marriage, I can tell you that the most beautiful parts of the building happen long after the wedding cake is gone.
They happen in the quiet moments of forgiveness, the late-night hard conversations, and the daily choice to keep the code of unity.
If you are feeling tired in your journey tonight, remember: you aren't failing because it's hard.
You are building. And building well takes time.
Your foundation is stronger than you think.
Relate right. Marry right. Build right.
