A marriage milestone
A big anniversary is a summit with a view in both directions: everything God carried you through, and whatever quiet drift the busy years let in. Samuel raised a stone and named it Ebenezer — 'Thus far the LORD has helped us' (1 Samuel 7:12). This path does both jobs of a milestone: honest inventory, and loud gratitude.

The years you'd edit
The seasons you were absent, the words from the hard years. Regret faced together at a milestone becomes testimony; buried, it becomes distance.

Drift is the long marriage's quietest enemy — efficient, polite, and separate. Check the temperature honestly; comfort and closeness are not the same thing.

Ebenezer joy
A joy check with receipts: count the great things, out loud, together — the storms survived, the children, the table, the grace. 'The LORD has done great things for us, and we are glad' (Psalm 126:3).
