Who I Am – Husband

Day two of content building for my Google pages site. Today, who I am as a husband.

I am blessed to be married to a righteous babe who is captivatingly beautiful inside and out. We’ve been married over 22 years and have the wounds, wisdom and love to show for it – I wouldn’t trade the years for anything. 

Jill and I met in the music scene in Dallas and eventually wound up in a band together – she’s a gifted singer (and actress). After working together every night for 6 months, we went on our first date. and were engaged 26 days later. 3 1/2 months later,we were married.

She is a woman full of youthful joy, wisdom and compassion as any of those that know her will attest.  She homeschools our two kids, produces and acts at Lamplighters Theatre Company in Smyrna, TN and mentors and teaches a huge circle of awesome ladies.

We’ve had our share of difficulties and tragedies over the years but have fought our guts out to have a healthy marriage. We’re huge advocates for marriage, consider it to be the most important thing in our lives and encourage everyone we can to make it theirs too. 

Here’s what I know as a husband.

First, our one simple rule – divorce is not an option. And we’re not the only ones who think so. When asked how he and Jada Pinkett have stayed married in Hollywood, here’s what  Will Smith said:

“Divorce can’t be an option – it’s really that simple. If you just remove the option… because, if you have the option, one day that person’s gonna make you wanna divorce.”

Second, I’ve learned that Jill’s level of happiness and security is directly proportional to my strength, passion and faith as a man.
