John,
On June 16, 2011, I saw the most beautiful site I’ve ever seen - the woman of my dreams, adorned in a beautiful white dress, walking down the aisle, and making the (questionable life choice) public vow to devote the rest to me and I to her.
Today is my 13 year wedding anniversary.
I wish I could say that I have been the perfect and phenomenal husband I was called to be and that she deserved. I have not.
I wish I could say that I have been easy to deal, given her my full appreciation, and provided her with a life of comfort and ease. I have not.
Nevertheless, there are not words to express what a joy and a blessing it has been to love and be loved by my wife. She is a stunning beauty, an incredible character, and a godly partner. Through all of life’s struggles, challenges, pains, joys, accomplishments, and hopes, Spencer has been the one whom I have the privilege of sharing it all with, and she is the one who makes me whole.
In our culture today, marriage is not cherished as it should be. The acceptance and legalization of gay marriage has watered down its definition, certainly, but even Christian marriages lack the radiant joy they were designed to have.
As believers, our marriages will never be perfect, but we should pursue the kind of marriage that becomes more perfect, more joyful, more complimentary, more loving, more satisfying, more gratifying, and more Christ-honoring.
Our marriages - because of the relational nature of the institution - are the greatest testimonies of our character and our faith, our greatest opportunity to live out dying to self to submit to another, and our greatest opportunity to witness to the world that biblical living is not out of duty or obligation… it’s for our JOY!
At Frontline, I do not believe we can simply win elections and pass policies to change our culture. Those battles are absolutely vital. However, lasting change comes through spiritual revival, and such an awakening starts in the home, with our marriages.
As I celebrate my 13th wedding anniversary, I remain committed to a cause that is bigger than being just a policy organization. I want to see God honored in our culture. I want to see all lives protected. I want to see male and female restored. I want Obergefell overturned. And, I want marriages to be the beautiful depictions God created them to be.
Will you consider a contribution to contribute to this dream?
We are $81,489.83 shot of our end-of-fiscal-year goal, which concludes on June 30th. Can you consider a generous donation of $13, $130, $1,300, or whatever you feel led, to do as Spencer and I celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary? Your support helps us fight to elect officials that will honor God, pass policies that protect the family, and stand for a culture that is a bold Christian witness in the public square.

In closing, I want to thank my wife for being an incredible woman, for loving me well for these 13 years, and for helping me become who God wants me to be. Thirteen years ago, she had moved up our wedding date - with four days notice - so that we could start our life together more quickly while I took a job in Virginia. She wanted to go with me, as my wife. She’s traveled the country with me, seen me give up a profitable business to pursue this calling, raised four kids with me, and sacrificed a lot to be my bride. I am forever grateful.
