Ok, we realize it’s April Fool’s Day. But this blog post is no joke.
It may even be best we post it today because there’s a lot of [understandable] messaging going on that getting married or committing to one person forever is just stupid, for fools. So, here we are, dedicated to learning how to make marriage, not only last, not only work, but be real, lifelong, and beautiful (scars and all).
That’s why, whether we’re photographing, blogging, or just talking with our couples, our priority isn’t just their wedding day, it’s their marriage.
So we just finished our all-time favorite book on marriage thus far:
Love and War: Finding the Marriage You’ve Dreamed Of by John and Stasi Eldredge
The most honest, frank, brutal really but beautiful, inspiring, and heart stirring book on love, real, lifelong, makes it through kind of love. From single to married, there’s a lot of good stuff here. An excerpt of my [Drexelle] personal favorite excerpt:
It can be done. And it is worth it.
Of all the things a man or woman needs to hear about marriage, this is perhaps the most important of all.
It can be done.
And it is worth it.
