Dear Posterity,
Six years ago today Amanda and I decided to get married. I had to work on Valentines Day that year so we celebrated our first Valentines Day together the day after Valentines Day. Since then, February 15th has become a special day for us and our relationship. We celebrate Valentines Day on the 15th every year as our tradition. It actually genius if you are a last minute shopper because all the Valentines Day items are 50% on the 15th :) Just saying...
One of my favorite movies is the Ten Commandments with Charles Heston. I grew up watching the movie and have never stopped loving it. There is a part of the movie where the Pharaoh assigns a task to Moses and Ramses responds to the Pharaoh by saying, "wise decisions...noble task." That's how I feel about my decision to marry Amanda. It was a wise decision and it is a noble task.
In many ways that phrase defines marriage. Marriage is always a wise decision and is a noble task. It becomes a noble task because marriage takes effort. No one has a perfect marriage and I won't pretend that ours is perfect but if there is one thing that our marriage is...is a wise decision.
For me, marriage is a noble task because it is ordained by God. It is one of the noblest commandments that we have received. It is one of the keys in our learning process here on earth and giving the opportunity to be married is a sacred/noble right that we take upon ourselves. There isn't a more noble task that we can undertake.
What is marriage...marriage is always a wise decision and a noble task...
