June 14, 1974 - Jim and Michele WilliamsIt is so hard to believe that it has been 35 years already! When Jim and I were first married, he told me that we will NEVER go to be angry. I have to say that it’s been true. We have had sleepless nights…yes… But we have made certain that even if we disagree about something, we will not go to bed angry. We will agree to disagree. We make sure that there are no harsh feelings. I would have to say that this one thing has made the biggest positive effect on our marriage. This one thing has caused us to talk instead of brood and stew over things. To coin a phrase from Barney Fife on the Andy Griffith Show, “Nip It! Nip It in the butt!”
Oh, yes, there were moments when we did not “like” each other very much. There were moments we had to work exceptionally hard to keep our marriage afloat. There were moments we even thought about throwing in the towel. But…. We took our marriage vows extremely seriously. We decided we would each give 100% of ourselves into our marriage. Nothing is “his” and “mine”. It’s is “ours”. We are ONE in Christ.
My husband is my friend, confidant, mentor, companion, critic, cheerleader, fan, hero, home, my “north”, pastor, lover and love of my life! We complete one another. I cannot imagine my life without him.
Jim, Happy 35th Anniversary! In light of eternity it is just a flash! I love you sweetie!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY dear ones.
Such a wonderful witness.
While the rest of the world seems to be giving up when their marriage vows require some effort, you are proving that it's worth putting in the work.
