World Marriage Day

Today is World Marriage Day! Travis and I have been married for 14½ years now. ❤️

At church today, the priest said a special blessing and prayer for the married couples. Then, the wives were given a beautiful white rose, and the husbands received a marriage prayer card.

Travis and I were married on August 3, 2011. We look so young in this photo dated August 2011, just a couple of weeks after we were married.

One of the many things I love about being married to my husband is that we get to grow old together. It is truly a great blessing from God to share my life with Travis.

I love looking back on pictures of us from over the years (like the one above).

To me, these photographs show how much we’ve grown together—both as a couple and individuals—deepening in love, faith, and spirit.

Present day — February 8, 2026. One of the many things I love about being married is we get to grow old together. ❤️

I can’t help but smile when I see the gray in our hair and the silver in Travis’ beard. They’re cherished reflections of the milestones we have reached together in our fourteen years of marriage.

❤️ XO

P.S.— Happy World Marriage Day to you, too, if you are married! 😊💗
