John Adams and Abigail Adams

I really appreciate this couple. Relationships are hard in general, and especially if you have to live apart for ten years, but they seem to have it figured out. They have a different and admirable relationship because of how they communicated and what they all had in common. They wrote letters to each other, and although I wish there was more affection within them, I admired both of their knowledge regarding the Declaration of Independence.  Abigail didn’t grow up education, and that’s an amazing trait of her biography because she worked hard at learning despite the setback.

Another admirable trait about their relationship, and them as individuals, is that they cared a lot about the United States and the founding principles.  In one of Abigail’s letters she wrote this about the new constitution, “May the foundation of our new constitution, be justice, Truth and Righteousness. Like the wise Mans house may it be founded upon those Rocks and then neither storms or temptests will overthrow it” (305).  I’m so thankful that we had people like her while the time of creating the constitution, because the Lord was definitely working through her.
