Meandering in Marriage

A couple years ago I had one of the longest days of my life.

I love to get things done and I like to go fast. 

So when  I went (reluctantly) on an eight hour hike that turned into a 12 hour hike, I felt miserable. 

A friend recently contrasted my experience with one of his own.

He too went hiking.

But when a Moose blocked his path, he simply took pictures of the moose while he patiently waited and enjoyed the journey.

Enjoying the journey. That's one of the keys in marriage too.

Enjoying the journey is like a meandering river: slow and enjoyable.

Meandering is a must in marriage because marriage is a process not an event. And the process is meant to be enjoyed.
