You ever have one of those days that at its conclusion you said to yourself "This was a good day"? As I think about Rob and Celia's progress over the past year, I celebrate the year that they have had. They have matured in their respective sense of self. They have matured in their couple identity. And, to some extent they have matured in their spiritual identity. It has been a great year. And, it has culminated this week in their marriage celebration of true love.
Celia feel comforted that she has found her knight and Rob his princess. This is the stuff that fairy tales are made of. What I like most, however, is that they have gone through enough challenges over the past year that they can genuinely celebrate what they have become-rather than trapped in the rose-colored idealism that often trips many newlyweds.
Though not in the drunken stupor of their respective dads, I too salute the happy couple. It is a great lesson to all of us of what marriage offers when it is experienced in true love.
