New Series: Marriage 101
Posted by Caroline on Feb 16, 2012 in journey to marriage | 1 comment
I am THRILLED to announce that tomorrow launches a new blog series on marriage.
Marriage 101– insight from those who have walked (& stumbled) before us.
Amidst wedding planning, color-picking, flower-choosing, & invitation-designing, the most undeniably, important part of engagement is preparing for marriage. Colors will be forgotten, flowers will die (should I just use silk?), and invitations will be tossed.
my wedding is part of an evening.
my “I do” to Clayton is forever.
I’m learning all I can because I’m hyper-aware of my own short-comings, and I’m marrying my best friend in 3 months who is also well… human.
After asking everyone I could “what advice can you give me?” I realized the answers I was hearing were chalk full of insight and timeless wisdom– wisdom that must be captured for others to hear. Thus, the birth of this blog series.
Whether you’re single, engaged, just married, or you’ve been married so long you can’t remember not being married, these posts will encourage. I pray they will draw you to the heart of God, as each post in its own way continually reiterates how a good marriage is founded upon Christ who calls us to humbly love one another.
I’m stoked. I hope you are too. Let’s learn together.

Hey There
In a matter of days I'm going to marry my college sweetheart Clayton. I'll be the resident chaplain at a girls dormitory this year... which will add a few quirks to our first year of marriage. I've been adopted into Texas culture and I keep Sonic in business. I blog about faith and the struggles with faith. My first name is Jane; I'm Caroline.

To my single friends, I just posted a cute picture of Clayton and I on Facebook. 10 minutes later we were sitting in my driveway talking about how his stress was overwhelming me and how he was stressed because I was overwhelmed. Dumb. […]

Sweet Caroline,
What a wonderful journey of life and love this will be for you and Clayton. Long ago, his grandpa and I learned the simple triangle that governs a marriage and guarantees joy. God is placed at the top, the husband at the left bottom corner, the wife at the right bottom corner. Distances between the three are equal. But, as the husband and wife each grow closer to God, they, as a result, grow closer to each other. It’s a simple but profound principle, and it works. We pray for you during these exciting days of preparation and for your future together, that blessings may abound and that your love will grow deeper and stronger each day.
Love, Clayton’s grandma
