I was at a 10th year wedding anniversary celebration last Sat morning. This lovely couple somehow invited me into their lives last year and have touched my life greatly. They renewed their vows at a lovely Catholic church just a few steps away from their lovely home. From the moment, my friend greeted me with a warm hug till I said goodbye, this couple and their family emanated love to people all around them. U know how some people just accept you into their lives, no questions asked, cook you fabulous food, listen to your problems, make you laugh and just basically love U for what U are? This couple are just like that, they love people and in turn, people adore them! 
I was particularly touched by the service, their nieces reciting Bible verses, their in-house 10th wedding anniversary video clip, the beautiful hymns….sigh…I was moved to tears…It was almost like God was trying to tell me something after I blogged about love! Well, they have given me new confidence in marriage!
How could they have survived or rather sailed through ten long years of marriage in this modern era where a five-year marriage is considered almost a miracle? Lots of patience and acceptance = Enduring love.
I firmly believe that they would not have been so happy without the presence of God in their lives. Now, I must first declare that I’m not inclined towards any religion but I’ve always believed in God and respect all religions for their various beliefs and practices. So please indulge this “free-thinker” for a bit..;-)
Hmmm, I wonder what is the statistics on religion and length of marriages? Would be interesting to know. Anyway, regardless of religion, I pray (yes, I do pray!) and wish for many more wedding anniversaries for all the married couples out there!
To the lovely couple who filled my Sat with lots of love, may your greatest wish come true! I’ll certainly be praying for you!
