Even though we
both had opposite goals in regards to marriage, there was one goal
that we had in common. We both knew that if we ever got married, we
wanted spouses who were totally committed to the Lord Jesus, to each
other, and committed to reaching the lost and hurting.
Character Traits
Rich at times errors towards being too assertive,
confrontational, and 'talking too much'. Whereas Carmi at times
errors towards being too passive, avoiding all conflicts, and being
silent.
What is great about our relationship is
we both see our individual flaws and are very open to allow God to
bring balance in our lives. Instead of seeing our differences as
obstacles we see them as opportunities to grow in Jesus.
UNITY
We may have some differences, but we are in total agreement in
regards to living a godly, submissive life to each other and our
God. We are committed to serving Jesus Christ with our entire life,
living according to the Word of God, and being a man and woman of
integrity. We are absolutely committed to be married until death,
regardless of what challenges we may face. We are committed to be
vessels of honor for our Lord and Savior. We are committed to having
a romantic marriage even when we are 'old'.
Neither of us believe in
dating, instead we believe in courtship. So, instead of dating
several individuals, we believe you court the person you know is a
potential mate. God will reveal who that person is without having to
date several people to find out. We also believe that while courting
you do not see how close you can get physically without sinning. So,
our first kiss on the lips will be at the marriage ceremony. (It
might be a long one)
