When I was married to my wife, I did not marry a car, a house, or an organization -- I married a living, breathing woman I loved and still love. Jesus Christ did the same, He has betrothed Himself to a living, breathing bride -- the living, breathing body of believers.
Billie boy, just for clarification, are we speaking of your first wife here, or a subsequent one? Just curious - no pun intended.

Thank you for asking. I am speaking of my wife with whom I will celebrate our 36th Wedding Anniversary this coming September 2.
So, this is my 26-36-76 YEAR!
This year I celebrate being a Christian believer for 26 years (1987). I celebrate 36 wonderful years married to my young bride (1977). And, I celebrate being 76 years young (1937). Seems like 7 is my number!
Most folks familiar with Scripture, knows that In Scripture, the number seven (7) symbolizes completeness or perfection.
So, by George, it seems that God has led me to a triune set of 7s: 1977 - 1987 - 1937.
I am truly a blessed man for all these reasons.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
