I'll try to rewrite it...<br /><br />Soooo, what attracted me to my spouse? His wisdom and wit was certainly appealing; his tutoring in high school got me a good grade in Calculus and I had fun helping out in his magic shows. But it was definitely more than that...he was the godliest peer I knew. We both loved Christian Contemporary Music when it was only on the radio from sunrise to sunset (mid-80's). I still have some scratched up vinyl records we played over and over again at youth group (Steve Taylor, Crumbacher, Randy Stonehill, Whiteheart, Petra--oh yeah!) <br /><br />And he loves books! We have thousands of volumes lining every wall in our house and he still lets me get more :) Right this minute he's reading Humility by CJ Mahaney (in anticipation of hearing CJ speak next weekend at the Resolved conference?) and Voddie Baucham's Family Driven Faith--Doing What it Takes to Raise Sons and Daughters who Walk With God. <br /><br />I'm so thankful for a godly (and handsome!) man to lead our household of 7<br /><br />Kim<br />kim@gnuhaus.comkimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664832721116542494.post-74158273422092456462011-06-17T23:02:11.569-07:002011-06-17T23:02:11.569-07:00I tried to post to enter the contest--did it not g...I tried to post to enter the contest--did it not go thru or did I not do it right?

I was first attracted to my husband ...Hi Jennifer:<br /><br />I was first attracted to my husband when we were in 7th grade biology class together. I don't do "blood and guts" well at all, so when he came to the rescue and dissected the frog assigned to our foursome, I remember being incredibly grateful. Although we didn't start dating until high school, I still think of that nerdy little 7th grader as my hero. <br /><br />Now after 37 years of marriage, he truly is my knight in shining armor. His willingness to bless our group back in 7th grade now blesses his patients as he uses his gifts and talents as a Christian ER doc.<br /><br />Jim and I have been teaching other married couples what God desires for their marriages and we applaud you and Marla for helping to spread this message. We're so thankful to see the Church waking up as it strives to reclaim God's amazing gift of sex for marriage!Vickie Sloderbeckhttp://www.joyfuljourneyproductions.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664832721116542494.post-42829676526333620562011-06-17T11:54:16.506-07:002011-06-17T11:54:16.506-07:00Wow. Lets see if I can get this right.
I actually...Wow. Lets see if I can get this right.<br /><br />I actually knew of my husband in 1998 (grade 11!). I started hanging out with him and a bunch of his friends at the start of grade 12, in 1999. We just got along, and could talk about lots of things. At Halloween, we went with 2 other friends to a haunted house, and we ended up having to wait outside in the rain for around 20 minutes to get in. We cuddled up close to stay warm, and that was when we both realized that there was some mutual attraction going on. What I really loved about him then was how we liked a lot of the same things, and could just talk forever.<br /><br />11.5 years later, we're married with 2 kids and loving it. :Ddaniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06715326251573275596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664832721116542494.post-44333453731060322502011-06-17T07:56:29.710-07:002011-06-17T07:56:29.710-07:00It was my husband's wink across the college ca...It was my husband's wink across the college cafeteria that first made my heart go pitter patter. :)Denicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15132189273323435249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664832721116542494.post-18040590248772057522011-06-16T23:02:52.687-07:002011-06-16T23:02:52.687-07:00Interesting, never read one of Marla's books s...Interesting, never read one of Marla's books so I'll have to look into the them :) as for what first attracted me to my husband Jason, it was 4 things relatively in this order: when first introduced I found him physically appealing although I could tell he might be "too old" (10 yrs older actually), he has a smile that charms everyone (except my dad). 2.he's confident, with who he is and where he stands with God. Within the first half hour of meeting me he invited me to his church where he ran sound. In less then a week had a serious discussion involving faith and trusting God, and Jason wasn't scared to tell me I had I had it wrong. 3 he made me feel special from the beginning (insisted I meet his friends and took me everywhere he went lol) (I mentioned charming right?) 4. He introduced me to his 3 beautiful kids about 3 weeks after I met him and I fell for them too :) just passed our 5 year anniversary and I don't regret knowing him only 10 months before we said the vows. Although my family really didn't take the 2month engagement very well lol.CamTerphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02876315540043227697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664832721116542494.post-81343388035541852382011-06-16T18:59:53.281-07:002011-06-16T18:59:53.281-07:00For me, it was a combination of his sense of humor...For me, it was a combination of his sense of humor and how considerate he is. Those are still two of my favorite things about him! :)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16061406674922226366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664832721116542494.post-73801126515716437452011-06-16T13:05:27.400-07:002011-06-16T13:05:27.400-07:00This is what I wrote in my prayer journal on Tuesd...This is what I wrote in my prayer journal on Tuesday September 4, 2001 while I was at Grace College:<br /><br />"I met Stuart (Jack) :) Peters. He's really nice." (I didn't spell his first name right)<br /><br />Then later that same day I wrote: "Father, I have this desire deep within me that longs for a godly man who loves you SO much. One who will love me, care for me, understand me."<br /><br />Then a week later on September 12, 2001 I wrote: "Today I had class, ate lunch, read my Art History book for an hour. Then I talked to this guy Jim and then a guy I met--Josh--stopped by and then Stewart and John walked by and they came over and me, Stewart, John and Josh talked for 2 hours! Stewart Jack Peters--he is like the greatest guy friend ever. He understands me totally."<br /><br />It took me until April of 2002 (7 months later) to start thinking that Stew was the man God had for me. Okay, I know this is a really long answer to your question, but I really wanted to share because I think it's cool that I wrote it all down. What first attracted me to him? That he GETS me.Bethanyhttp://www.xanga.com/YoYoYodernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664832721116542494.post-91354838693635242862011-06-16T12:58:11.929-07:002011-06-16T12:58:11.929-07:00Wow, that was 11 years ago...I'm not really ce...Wow, that was 11 years ago...I'm not really certain.
