What a relief to read some honest descriptions of marital sex! Amen to all of it.

I think marriage in general makes you hungry – we both gained weight (and spent a lot of money on food!) in the first few months. Eating stuff like smoked oysters and cheese in bed almost every night’ll do that to ya, apparently.

We were at church four days after marriage too (on Christmas Eve, in our case) and I also spent most of the service in tears. Your church sounds quite a bit like ours. When I began going there, there were two young people in the congregation. Two years later the place is overflowing with youth and young families, and we’ve had about half a dozen marriages and twice as many baptisms of new adult converts, not to mention infants. I pray your church will grow too!

I’m so happy you two are experiencing the blessing of a truly loving church; there’s nothing like that love and joyful support to make you feel like your marriage really is involved in God’s glory.

Congratulations! Angels in heaven are surely rejoicing because of your marriage. Hallelujah!

Btw, “Jon’s currently running Meshereth Magazine…”? Why didn’t I get to proof my wedding program bio? We really need to get Mesh going again Mr, ahem, Publishing DIRECTOR.

And dinner sounds great. We get back early on Memorial Day. That would be a good day. Tuesday would probably work too, but we’ll probably spend the morning running around trying to change Rachel’s name. I’m not quite sure how hard that is going to be.
