We have recently begun pre-marital counseling with some friends of ours who will be performing the ceremony at our wedding. Hands down, pre-marital counseling is by far my favorite part of planning a wedding. I guess it's because it's planning for our marriage - life after the Big Day. I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to learn more about Seth and to grow in the knowledge of what marriage is really about. We've been privileged to be meeting with 2 sets of couples for counseling and both are very open and honest about their successes and failures in their own marriages. I don't pretend this will teach us everything we need to know about being married, but I do know God is using it already to help us in our communication with each other as well as teaching us wisdom for the future.
So far my favorite nugget of wisdom that I've learned is that the depth of relationship in your marriage is directly related to your ability to forgive. What a wonderful and freeing thought! It is only because of Christ that we can forgive and through trusting in Him we will be able to forgive one another in our marriage, and love each other as Chris loved the church.
I'll keep you posted on additional nuggets we receive in counseling, but until then...the soon-to-be Apple household is coming along beautifully!
I must say that I'm way behind in posting the production on the house...it actually looks completely different now than it does below. But for the sake of keeping things in order, we'll pretend this is the way things are right now...
I don't know the technical name for the black paper on the outside of the house, but it's there.
This is Seth's favorite part of the house...the master bathroom. He's quite the bath taker for those who don't know him:)
Man, he's a STUD!
It's coming along!
