There is a Garth Brooks song that came out in 1990 “The Dance.” It is a song my husband picked out for us after a breakup, when he was trying to reconcile with me. It’s still appropriate because we were married, divorced and through the grace of God reconciled and have been married for sixteen and a half years.
I remember dancing with Him in my parents front yard to the radio playing. I really was just a kid at the time. If someone would have told me all that we would walk through together, I would never have believed it. Our life together has been a dance, but it is one that I would not have missed. We have three beautiful children and grandchildren.
If you haven’t heard it, you can hear His story behind it and the song at :

Jackie, what a great post.That song always moves me. I haven’t heard it in years. Our relationships with our husbands are like a dance, aren’t they? Learning how to move together, to follow and to love well. How to be in sync with each other and with God to make beautiful movement.
Stopping by from FMF.

I have loved reading everyone’s posts about dance and what it means to them. I think life is like a dance, but we have to choose to join in or sit this one out. Oh the things that we miss when we sit out!

It’s a beautiful song.
Barbara and I were married in 2002, divorced in 2003, and remarried in 2004 (in a helicopter over the Las Vegas strip, at night, by a Catholic priest who’d gotten special dispensation from the Archbishop.
And I did not know this…Barbara was only going to remarry me if a priest would show up. Otherwise, no dice. And I didn’t know we’d gotten a priest until he showed up at McCarran Field.
Miracles, anyone?
