Fifteen years with my valentine has taught me to understand the power of covenant promises.
Before, when I was searching to love someone and to be loved valentine’s day had way to much baggage, the pressure was enormous and the pace too frenetic.
Now, after 15 years of keeping covenant promises, valentine’s day is a welcome breath of fresh air.
No pressure. No baggage. The pace of a long distance runner enjoying the run of his or her life.
When there’s no other person you’d rather be with, than the person who just handed you a love note, you know you’ve found something good.
And you spend the rest of your life keeping covenant promises.

At 32 years, it just keeps getting better. Mike the EyeGuy calls it "romance in the trenches" … By the way, on the comments section of your blog, the icons for formatting the response are very jumbled. Actually they look like an extant language.
