A love like this

This afternoon we went to the beach with my mother and father in-law. We ordered pizza, some salad and brought along some cold drinks. The weather was awesome, the kids played in the waves and I spent some time chatting with my awesome in- laws.
They have been married for 48 almost 49 years! They act as if they just met. They talk like they just met. They kiss like they just met. She serves him with absolute adoration. She serves him not just out of obligation but out of true love. He supports her with unconditional love. He leads them with wisdom and truth out of the purest form of adoration. When he speaks she listens to every word as if he is the only one around. She shares every ounce of her daily ongoings with him and listens whether it should interest him or not.... the represent what God has called each of us to be in marriage. She is the wife I strive to be, not the one society calls me to be. She is a wife and he is a husband that will surely sit at Heaven's gates and be complimented by Christ on a job well done.
