Jesus Is My Guru
There are certain moments/events in life we know are from God. Certain dreams, for example, that are so clear and so real that they leave no doubt as to their meaning, and we live them out and look back and think, "Wow."

funny you should say that :) after i wrote that i realized how upset i was and that i really needed to talk with him. i told him how those words make me feel, and that i need to know that, no matter how much we disagree, he still loves me.
i apologized again for harsh words i've used in debates with him and said i'd try harder to understand his views. we talked about how our differences could make us grow apart if we fight each other all the time or grow closer if we learn from each other.
ultimately i would like him to accept my viewpoints as valid even if he doesn't agree and back me up in my right to express them. but, what i really need right now i just to know that he separates who i am from what i believe, and that my changing my beliefs on some things doesn't mean that i am a different person.
i also assured him that the two things i wouldn't change were my belief that i wanted to be with him and was willing to work at our marriage and, that i enjoy being with him and that i believe in the risen christ.
*sigh* i do wish it were enough that we both believe those things and everything else didn't matter but that is between husband and God.

My Beloved and I manage very well out of two phrases in particular: "Yes, dear, by which I mean, 'No, dear'", and "I love you anyway". Mind you, we also spend a lot of time laughing at each other and at ourselves, which probably helps....
