In this part of our interview with Lori, we are digging deeper with one purpose. The purpose to learn and be inspired. How you met your husband?
I met Danny while he was in CA on business from GA. I was managing a bar in a restaurant and he came in for dinner. He was in CA for 3 months and I met him 2 days before he was going home for good. He says that I was hitting on him that first night. I say that I was just doing my job. We did date long distance for 3 ½ years before we got married. The crazy thing is that and we only saw each other for a weekend every few months and one 5 day vacation before we got married.
What changes you see in yourself now compared to your life before marriage?
I was a single mom and only saw my daughter half of the week so I was a mom 4 days and a single gal working in a restaurant bar for the other three. I really lived two different lives back then. I am definitely the happiest I have ever been in my marriage and life in general. I am now serving God instead of serving cocktails...a much better vocation.
What was your thoughts of marriage before you get married and did it change?
I was married previously to my oldest daughters dad for 3 short years. It ended with infidelity so my views on marriage were not completely positive. I swore I would never marry again after that experience. I couldn't imagine going through that kind of pain again. It changed when I met my current husband Dan. I learned to trust again and I dedicated my life to God right before we got married so absolutely everything was different from that point on.

In your years of marriage, what did you find about the wife role in the man life? How she can influence?in another words: How you see the role the a woman can play in her marriage and in her husband life? Why many under estimate the wife role in marriage and husband life?
I was one of those women who struggled with the word "role" especially in my marriage. It wasn't until God and I wrestled and wrestled over it and I finally cried "Uncle" that I was able to understand my purpose and what a great gift being a wife is. We are the encourager's and especially since my husband travels every week I see my self as the lighthouse that my husband need to stay the course. I am the beacon that reassures, comforts and guides him home. That may sound cheesy but I know that I am that to my husband.
What do you think of marriage? and how you describe yours?
I love being married and I cannot image spending my life with anyone other than my husband. We had a rocky road for the first few years because of my fears and my unwillingness to give God control of my life and marriage. Since I have given all of it to God, he has blessed it. We have an extremely strong marriage and a beautiful 4 year old daughter together.
