No comments?! I love this song. It makes me cry because it reminds me so much of my boyfriend and me. I am 18 and he is 22, and we plan to get married in August 2014, when we are more financially stable and I am almost finished with college. Sure, some people will probably think we're too young and naive (my mother and several other people on her side of the family are firm believers that you must be finished with college and preferably in your mid- to late-20s or older when you get married). And sure, marriage is hard--most likely harder than we've dreamed--and it comes with risks. But, like the song says, being willing to lay your life (and wants and preferences) down for the other person is a good foundation, and it is so worth it and so rewarding. Divorce and most marital problems are a direct result of the fact that we are selfish people. Even though it will be tough and you may even feel like giving up sometimes, that's what the promise is for--and if we fully rely on God, he will never forsake us, just like he promised. This song is so hopeful and stirs up so many emotions in me, and it's very relaxing--especially when I listen to it in my car with the bass way up. ; ) Plus, there doesn't seem to be many songs out there that are specifically about marriage.
