When we first felt led to share reflections from our marriage, one honest question rose to the surface: Are we qualified? This piece is about learning that our calling is not rooted in expertise, but in God’s grace—and in the simple willingness to share the real journey He is writing in our lives.
2 Corinthians 3:5
“Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God.”
One night before bedtime, a thought came quietly to my mind—a gentle nudge from God.
It felt like an invitation. An invitation to share our journey through small stories about marriage.
The idea stayed with me, so I brought it up to Dennis. I asked him what he thought about writing and sharing reflections from our life together—nothing complicated. Just real moments. Honest stories. Lessons we are learning along the way.
And maybe… sharing them publicly.
Dennis paused for a moment, then asked a simple but thoughtful question:
“Are we qualified?”
After all, we have not even reached our first year of marriage. Who are we to talk about marriage?
We are not counselors. We are not experts. We are simply two people learning how to love each other better every day.
So I shared what was really on my heart.
This is not about giving advice. It is not about presenting ourselves as experts.
It is simply about sharing a real journey.
The journey of two imperfect people learning to walk through life together. Learning patience. Learning grace. Learning how God moves in the middle of ordinary days.
Because marriage is not lived in theory—it is lived in the everyday moments.
In conversations. In misunderstandings. In laughter. In forgiveness. In prayer. In the quiet, unseen ways love grows over time.
Dennis listened quietly, as he often does. Then, with his calm and gentle voice, he said:
“Yeah. We can share that.”
And so, here we are.
Not because we have it all figured out. Not because we have mastered marriage.
But because we are witnessing how God is at work in it.
This space will simply hold pieces of our life together—small stories, reflections, and moments where we see God’s grace shaping us as husband and wife.
Our marriage is still young. Still learning. Still growing.
But one thing we know for sure:
This love story is not just ours.
It is a story that God Himself is writing.
And perhaps, through these small stories, we will continue to see His faithfulness unfold in the journey ahead.
