My 1st marriage ended almost 8 yrs ago. My ExH and I were young, didn't know the meaning of marriage or vows. Being of the Apostolic faith, I was taught that divorce was not an option. However, after the countless affairs my ExH had, I made the decision to divorce. Out of the union, I was blessed with a beautiful 11 yr old son. After my divorce, my family was not happy, but I felt like God had forgiven me for not seeking Him in my first marriage and the bond between us was broke and not recognized in His sight. I still wanted a family, but because I was cheated on, my desire to get remarried was gone. I honestly made a vow before my divorce that if God ever got me out of my mess, he wouldn't have to worry about me EVER getting remarried! Never make promises you can't keep. LOL
Fast forward to now, I've been taught that "he who finds a wife, finds a good thing". As I continued to raise my son, my path would cross with my future husband without either one of us looking to be in relationships. We both entered into it as just friends, who both share a love of music and from there, God would allow us both to realize that we were made/designed for each other. How I know it's God? When I'm with my "other half", my spirit is at peace, I exhale as if my soul has found its missing piece. This will be a 2nd wedding for both of us and we are defying tradition all together! My wedding is March 15th exactly 8 months from the time our paths crossed, an intimate setting with 12 guests. This time feels different. I truly understand what and how it means to love someone unconditionally. And most importantly, I know what it means when the officiant says, "...what God has joined together, let NO MAN put asunder.."
Congratulations to all those who have been blessed to feel love a second time. Many in this life haven't experienced it at all and here we are entering into it again...smarter and wiser. Love and Blessings.
