I’ve been with this beautiful woman for 10 years, I was 17 and she was 15 when we met.
We got our first apartment when I was 18 and she was 16.
We got engaged when I was 18 and she was 17.
We have never spent one night apart from each other out of anger.

Shortly after getting engaged she became pregnant with our first child.
As young parents in a young marriage we struggled for years financially in a bad economy, often times having the power shut of or being evicted.
Living in a bad side of town I saw people shot and killed

I’ve had guns put to my head knowing I had to go back home to my wife.
At the age of 22 and 20 we had our 2nd child.
We have gone through hard times living in a car with 2 kids and 2 pets.
Despite that we have never cheated on one other and we have never left one other.

There were times her friends and family (all of whom are single) BEGGED her to leave.
She refused, she trusted me.. she knew I loved her and I’d make the best decisions for us.

When we first met I was a fat goofy kid in highschool and she was the..
... prettiest girl in the whole school.
I had been waiting to find a girl to court for the entire year and when she moved to my school halfway through the year something inside me KNEW I had to have her, she was already mine.
I plotted. I made my plans.

One day she was walking home and I decided to ask her if I could walk her home.. (her mother should of taught her better then to let strangers walk her home)
In that 3 mile walk (as a fat kid it was hard) we talked about how she was pro abortion and her general left-wing views.

I walked her home the next day.
On the 3rd day I went to walk her home again but I didn’t see her outside of the school? I looked down the road, and there she was a half mile away... running away from me full sprint.
I didn’t care. The next day I asked to walk with her again.

We were both virgins and as a teenage boy I was dead set on not being one, she wasn’t having it.
I though, “maybe it’s because I’m fat” so I worked for months and lost all the weight (it wasn’t because I was fat it’s because I was overbearing... but being overbearing..

..and persistent is why she is with me to this day so w/e)
Her refusing to be with me forced me to accept the title “best friend”
Friend Zone Gang lets go
After 6 months of being best friends and me not leaving her side she grew to trust me.
She knew I loved her.

We spent every night on the phone together for countless hours (as friends) and one night I was almost bit by a snake while on the call and she decided in that moment that if something happened to me she wouldn’t want to be know as “just friends”
My plan was coming together.
My plan was coming together.
We skipped school and swapped virginities and the rest is history.
Sure there we’re a few up and downs but I never let her go, I never let the thought enter her head that she was able to freely walk away from me. Ever.
She was mine whether she liked it or not.

I lead strong and anything that happened to us good or bad was on my shoulders.
I made her cook and clean and submit to me.
But I also signed a contract to show her my loyalty, the contract stated I would always listen to God and protect my wife.
She didn’t ask me to do that

My marriage has been nothing but a blessing, it’s 100% on autopilot.
It’s the easiest thing about my life, easier than breathing or sleeping.
I see others struggle with relationships, most my friends struggle deeply.
I grew up in a broken home.

I grew up in a broken home.
And my wife grew up in a broken home.
To this day I don’t know a single person from my home town who grew up in a home the way my kids are growing up now... not a single person.
Even as a kid, no one had to tell me but I knew what I must do.
Get married young and have kids.

I see my friends have resentment for their parents, anger for their mothers and they fear the women they choose to be in relationships with.
It’s the spirit of King Ahab in them..
A spirit of men who are terrified of their mothers and wives and refuse to lead their homes.

The peace that my marriage and life brings me has inspired me to wake up my friends and peers, everyone should have a chance to have the blessings I have if God sees it fit for them in their lives.
And I’ll fight for that, I truly believe in it.

Women: if you are going to be with a man be with one you trust
Men: if you are going to take the responsibility of a marriage than LEAD IT! Take responsibility for it, good and bad!
The conservative movement and American society is full of so called “equal marriages”

God didn’t make us equal! He made us both blessed with different roles!
Men must submit to God and trust him to lead
And women must submit to their husbands and trust him to lead!
A refusal to do this is a direct influence of the spirit of Jezebel, break the curse.

Last night I looked around my house as my children slept, I looked at my wife, the things I owned.. the lives I’m responsible for... and I knew that everything around me was because I took hold of my marriage and created life within it.
I found great joy in it. Great purpose.

Without that purpose what would my life even mean? Not much.

Don’t take my word for it, take God’s word for it.
I promise you, there is nothing better then living life the way God created it.
I love you all, God bless every single one of you.
