Love Stories:: Jenny and Matt

Matt and I have been married for 16 years.  We always joke that Matt was my 18th birthday present.  Mutual friends set us up and I was completely surprised.  By the 3rd date I knew he was my future husband.  I had never met anyone with such passion on every issue, especially his passion for God.

We got married at 19 and everyone thought we were crazy, but I never second guessed it. Matt always says it’s the best decision he ever made. We for sure had ups and downs and I know that will continue.  I love how we communicate about everything and truly love spending time with each other.  I love watching him with our boys, teach them how to be Godly men.

My heart melted even more as we started the process of adoption.  Once we made that decision, he was such a rock during the process.  Then when we met our baby girl, and seeing him love her unconditionally, my love just continued to grow. That is what’s awesome about marriage. Having a lifetime to have our love grow. I’m nothing but thankful!
