"Today, I looked at my beautiful wife Chelsea and thought to myself, "If she had the chance to do it all over again, would she still marry me?" I hope so. When I first met Chelsea, she was intoxicatingly lovely (still is). She captured my heart, my imagination, and all my affection. I was only 19 then, but I had enough sense to know to set the hook and ask her to marry me quickly, or someone else would. On our marriage day, I knew that when I walked away from the altar, I received a better half than she did. She married a young man who needed lots of maturing in grace. Fortunately, she could see God at work in my life. God saw my great need and had mercy on me. Jesus came to me when I wasn't looking for Him, looked upon me when I was looking everywhere else, and with a power and love that only He could employ, began to conquer my selfishness, stubbornness, and sinfulness, turning my heart to Jesus. Maybe on our anniversary I'll ask Chelsea that question, but until then, I'll keep working on becoming the man she'd never want to replace."

I was watching an interview this morning on Kylie Bisutti, a 21yr old who quit her career to be more honoring to her husband and to the Lord. The interview is excellent. (The video footage that plays while she is talking-not so much.) Here is this young lady, just a few months older than me, with a modeling career with Victoria Secret. Once a position she fought hard to achieve, and now bowing out to seek a more wholesome dream. "The California native beat out 10,000 hopefuls in 2009 to win the Victoria’s Secret Model Search. She was 19 and recently married at the time." This idea that she would give up her career to reserve her body for her husband must be a foreign concept to our society. Boldly sharing that her decision is based off of her strong faith and her love for her husband is a double blow to our feminist minded culture. The reason why this story is receiving so much attention is because people can't understand the conviction to honor marriage and growing in your faith. However, she says she would like to be a role model for others. I think she is becoming a role model in more ways than she realizes. Daily women let their marriages crumble as they pursue their dreams and their careers. This woman gave up a career she beat out 10,000 people for, for the sake of protecting her marriage, and that's what it takes. To honor it above all else.
