Episode 8: The Long Game: 21 Years of Marriage and God’s Steady Provision

Today marks 21 years of marriage for me and my husband, Bill—and no, we’re not heading to the casino for our “blackjack anniversary.” Instead, I’m reflecting on what it really means to stay in the game.

Marriage is its own kind of wilderness—unpredictable, stretching, sacred. And over these two decades, we’ve walked through valleys, career shifts, family loss, and moments where we had to lean in or risk drifting apart. Through it all, God’s provision hasn’t always come in dramatic ways… sometimes it looked like the quiet strength of a faithful partner beside me.

In this short anniversary reflection, I’m sharing the sacred parts of our story, the verses that have anchored us, and the reminder that even when love feels ordinary—God’s hand is still all over it.

💛 Whether you’re married, waiting, or walking through something hard right now… may this remind you that God’s provision shows up. Often in the people who simply stay.

“Two are better than one… if either of them falls, one can help the other up.” (Ecclesiastes 4:9–10)
