forging

forging - to form (as metal) by heating and hammering; to form or bring into being esp. by an expenditure of effort

This is an image of my marriage. We are forging a life together - we have forged a life together. We are taking the time to forge out more time for each other. We are committed to rising early and walking the dog before our work day starts.

Thomas and I conversed before we dated. Over the years we have sometmes let our conversational time fall to the wayside because of our daily obligations. Pray for us as we intentionally set apart time to be together. Because - BIG RED - will surely get his knickers in a knot!
