What My Anniversary Posts Were Really Saying

Facebook Memories can be surprisingly revealing.

Today would have been Jack’s and my 45th anniversary, so when I looked at my FB Memories just now I got to see years’ worth of “Happy Anniversary to Us” memories. And I saw a pattern.

They were all, essentially, some happy-looking version of “We’re still here!”

Not “I love being married to this man.”
No “God has blessed me with the best.”
None of… all those things I see happy wives post.

Just a “happy” acknowledgement that our marriage had survived another year. Something to make it look like all was going great…without telling an outright lie.

Looking back now, I can see those posts were waving red flags I didn’t even recognize myself. If anyone noticed the pattern, they probably would have suspected our marriage wasn’t all it was supposed to be.

I thought I’d mention it in case someone in your life is quietly waving red flags you’ve been missing.

Have I mentioned lately that I love my life? God is so so good to me!

Celebrating Jesus!
