Are You A Wonder Wife? I Am.

By Fawn Weaver on Monday, September 17, 2012

I am so grateful to have a guest blogger joining us today.  As many of you know, last Sunday my world was turned upside-down when my father was put on a form of life support for an emergency procedure prior to being transferred to ICU.  

He remains in ICU but is getting stronger (thank you to all those praying).  I will definitely update you when I join you here on Wednesday morning, but until then, I hope you’ll be able to relate to this guest post as much as me.

Until tomorrow…make it a great day!

If I have to describe my first year of marriage in one word it would be–wonder. As a child, I would look at my parents and wonder what it would be like someday.

As a girl, I would look at my friends and wonder why I wasn’t in a relationship. Was there something wrong with me? Was it because I was too loud, too fat, or too smart to be in a relationship?

As a young adult, I never stopped to wonder where my future husband was. Although I have to admit that I gave up the notion that somewhere my prince charming was waiting to rescue me.

I didn’t need to be saved. I already knew–and was confident in the woman I was becoming.

I got married a year shy of my 30th birthday. Looking back I am so glad I never gave up the wonder.

The wonder of someday my best friend would meet me half way.

The wonder of waking up next to a man in my bed and marveling at his naked body while he stares at mine.

I’m still considered a “newlywed”–but I hope I never give up the wonder–because it’s when I’m just being my wonderful self that makes him and me most happy.

I am a wonder wife.

Question: Do you find yourself amazed often and grateful for the wonder of marriage and the ability to love and be loved at such a high level?
