I see so often that when a couple has children, all of a sudden, their children define their marriage. Chrystal becomes Elijah's mom, not Luke's wife. I know there is a love and committment that comes with having children, but what if we had that same thought towards our spouse?
My last blog before Eli comes will be about my husband, not about my coming baby. (But I love you, my boy!)
Luke has been so amazing throughout this whole pregnancy. He has been at every possible appointment, has let me be moody, has made me feel beautiful and taken care of me. The amazing thing is that he's always been like this! I'm so spoiled. I'll admit it. He pulls around the car for me, opens doors for me, helps around the house, cracks me up, and just makes me feel so loved. He unknowingly challenges me all of the time to be a better spouse, just by being such a wonderful spouse to me.
He didn't have the best example as to what a husband should be growing up, but he has broken so many generational "traditions" in the way he treats me. Our children will know what it is to be a godly man, husband and father, and I am so thankful for that.
Soon our lives will change in so many ways. New career, new baby...a new life. I thank God that he's the one that will be beside me through it all.
