What I have just described is a glimpse of the ideal life, and I know that every married couple does not get an opportunity to experience this, but I believe that this is God's will for all married couples along with so much more. God wants marriage to be fulfilling and when two people commit to marry, He ensures that fulfillment will be an element that they will experience. God allows a marriage to go through seasons of growth in love, commitment, and knowledge of one another. It is His perfect will that marriage will glorify Him, be fulfilling to the couple, and leave a positive legacy for that family unit. Whichever season you are in, enjoy the ride. Allow God to guide you through each season so that you will enjoy His best life for you (Ephesians 5: 21 - 33).

The last season is the season of relaxation and comfort. During this season, the children are grown and independent of you. You both are traveling and the only baggage you have is your luggage. For many the mortgage is paid off and you are finally able to do many of the things you could only dream about. Now it is just the two of you and your love has gone to a level where you know you have gone from being in love to being engulfed in love. This is your soul mate and your best friend. No one knows you better than this man or woman, and you are content with each other (I Peter 3: 7). These are your golden years, and you have "been there and done that". Now all you do is whatever you want to do.

of growth in love, commitment, and knowledge of

one another."
