My Man

This is Matt. I have been married to this man for a little over 10 years. Lived everyday with him. One would think that after that long I would know everything about him. The truth is, we are just now getting beyond our inhibitions and getting to know eachother, for real. Why do we do that? Why do we, as human beings, hold on to this idea that we can't let anyone know the "real me"? Is it because we think that others will reject us? Is it because we don't even like the secret us? This is something worth thinking about...if we don't like a certain part of ourselves, maybe we should cut it out. If you don't want people to know something about you, maybe you should eliminate that "something". On the other hand, maybe we should just tell it like it is and expose ourselves for what and who we really are. Deal, and move on.
It isn't easy! It is an everyday choice. Let me tell you though, anytime that Matt and I have let down a "wall" or shown our vulnerable side, we fall deeper in love with eachother. Becoming more...one. Spurring eachother on to be more of our true selves, more real, more like Christ. More like...God intended.
