The other day I was telling my wife that I love where we are in our relationship, after 34 years we are comfortable with each other.

That’s a good thing, when your young, your always trying to impress each other, how good looking you think you are, or muscular, smart or daring and all of those other dumb things.

And as the years go by, you change from trying to impress each other to trying to change each other. You should act or look a certain way and it almost comes to the point of nagging each other and its tiresome.

But then years later, you realize something, your not trying to impress or to change each other, your at the point where you are who you are and you accept each other for who they are.  Your happy just being with them, loving each other and enjoying each others company.

That’s the way its suppose to be with our relationship with Christ, when your first saved you try so hard to get Gods approval by trying to be some sort of super saint or spiritual giant.

Then when you fail at impressing him you try bargaining and getting things the way you want them and so you nag Jesus.

But no matter how much you try to impress or nag your still you and Jesus is still himself, the bible says he never changes.

And then one day hopefully you realize, that you don’t have to impress Jesus, he loves you just the way you are, you don’t have to nag him, he knows what you need and whats best for you.

You become comfortable with the Savior,  and you become friends and his child.

And when you reach that point, is when the real love relationship begins, because as his friend and child, you do things that please him.

Instead of working against him and doing things that are selfish and for my own pleasure, you begin to work with him, and do things that brings him pleasure.

Marriage is the same way, its suppose to be two people working together for maximum pleasure to the other person, you become comfortable.

Are you comfortable with Christ?  Are you comfortable with the one you’ve married?

Its a good place to be.
