Our Wedding Anniversary
True “Soul Mates” from the beginning

Since I spent most of the 2 weeks prior to our 21st wedding anniversay on July 20 in the hospital with Carole faithfully spending the nights beside me, neither of us had a card to give so we decided to read the cards that we had given to each other over the past 20 years.  That proved to be an excellent plan and we saw that we considered each other “soul mates” from the beginning and even more so today.  I am truly a blest man to have Carole willingly at my side and in her words “she will always be there, no matter what”.  So we walk this road together taking and appreciating each day and trusting our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to sustain us.  It is so much easier to trust in Christ for strenght each day.  It is not necessary to “go it alone”, even if we could.

“Love Languages”
Several people have mentioned to us that they have observed us in church and our bodies are always touching and our arms are frequently around each other’s waist.  I wrote a piece about this to our last Divorce Care group this Spring when I addressed the issues of “Love Languages” and “psychological needs” of spouses.  Click here to read this article. His Needs Her Needs by Les Vahsholtz – Spring 2012 .
Carole & I speak the same “Love Language” and we list the same top 5 emotional needs as the most important to us individually.  We believe that knowing and understanding this can help husbands and wives bond their marriages closer together.
