Love him like Jesus does

I've been meaning to write another post for awhile but I couldn't decide what to write about.  I felt silly writing two post in a row that are based on a song so have been trying to come up with something else to write about... but this is what has been on my heart for the last month so I'm giving in and writing about it!

Every time I hear this song it bring tears to my eyes.  I'm always kind of a sucker for country music and the stories they tell, but this song in particular gets to me.  Because here's the thing: more than anything, I want to love my husband like Jesus does.  

This summer has already brought a number of weddings.  As I sit and watch couples start their lives together I can't help but think a lot about our wedding and how far we have come in our marriage since then.  We are still in the early stages of marriage and we are definitely not experts in marriage, but there is so much we have learned over the last 1 year and 8 months.  There have been a lot of ups and downs, especially in that first year, but I wouldn't trade it for anything now because the lessons learned were priceless.  

And what was the number one lesson?  Learning a little more every day what it means to love someone like Jesus.  My prayer is that each day for the rest of our lives together, the Lord teach me how to love more and more like He does.  And if someday my husband is able to say about me the things that Eric Church says in this song, it will be my greatest success!
