Super Stoked about what Jesus is doing!

Normally, I like to try and let my blogs be a reflection of what God is teaching me through His Word.

Today, is gonna be a little bit different...

As I was running this morning something occurred to me.  At night, after my son goes to bed, a lot of times my wife and I turn on TV, she plays some computer game, or talks on Facebook with friends, and I watch West Wing, Studio 60, or Sports Night until I fall asleep.  This is pretty much our routine for our nights.  I sleep on the couch, until she wakes me up to go to bed!

This morning, God laid on my heart that my wife and I need to get out of this routine.  We need to challenge each other, we need to play with each other, I desperately need to beat her at cards!  There is so much more to life and being married than simply coexisiting.  Don't hear me say that we are having troubles, or anything.  I love my wife and I am crazy about her, and it is from that desire that this idea is birthed.  I want to experience more of her.  I am not content to simply be in the room with her, I want to talk with her, know her, play and have fun with her.  I want her to challenge my thoughts, I want her to hear what God is teaching me, I want to bounce crazy ideas off of her.  I want a relationship that goes deeper!  That involves effort and time.  That involves me doing something.  Getting involved. That means that effort on my part needs to be made to ask questions, listen to her answers, or simply be willing to do things that I wouldn't necessarily want to do late at night.

I believe that my marriage (which is already awesome and one for the record books!) is about to get a whole lot more awesomer (just made that word up).  I am excited for what God is going to do in my marriage.  God took me to Song of Solomon this morning, and it was cool to see a picture of a man and woman madly in love and desperate for each other, physically, mentally, and spiritually!  That is my desire - that God would take my wife and I deeper, in every aspect of our relationship.  It's gonna be fun :)
