That Band

Nothing is more sexy about My Husband than that golden band he wears on his left hand.  He wears it day and night - the only times I've seen him remove it ... for intense games of basketball.   He did lose his band last year, though, when he took it off while digging post holes. There was a new band on his finger within a week. Good man!, I thought. Thank God, I breathe continually. I'm old enough now to have seen lots of marriages go down, and go down hard. My solid faith in my own marriage has been shaken at times by unpredictable acts of infidelity, unfaithfulness, and abandonment by many whom I believed to be in strong marriage relationships. Pollyanna to the core, it never fails to rock my small world here in this peaceful place. That's why at a recent picnic, I found myself focusing the camera lens on this fascinating sight. That sexy band of gold my husband now refuses to take off.        Thank God

So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.

  2. This is a lovely post. I gotta agree with you. I think the sexiest thing my husband wears is his wedding band. He actually wears my daddy's, so it's even more special.

  4. So many couples today are quick to "throw in the towel" when things start to go wrong.
    I am so thankful for a godly husband and for that little band of gold that he wears proudly.
