True! Marriage is hard…..but it is so worth the fight to stay together. Larry and I are on our 39th year of marriage. I would be lying if I didn’t say we had our challenging years and there were years I was fed up with ‘sin’ in my life and in his…..but the foundation of our marriage was Jesus, and I knew He was fighting for us and I just couldn’t make a decision against what the Bible said. I did hear all those people justify away why we could divorce, but the Word was written on my heart and I couldn’t escape its truth.
I’m disappointed, in the woman, with this recent divorce. My heart hurts for her family. I’m disgusted by all the comments of reassurance that everything is and will be “fine”. I’m sickened that it gives the appearance that God’s ways do not work. I have a will be in prayer for their family.
Kim, though we've never met in person, you have been a faithful friend and encourager to me over many years. I'm always thankful for your comments and for your love for the Lord.
This was really good Keri! Congratulations on 32 years of Marriage. Rod and I celebrated 40 years last September 1st. Marriage NEEDS Jesus, and takes a lot of being in God’s Word together, Love, Grace, Understanding, Compassion, Giving, and Selflessness in order to make it strong and thrive! Man and Woman in the marriage become ONE!! Thank you for this post! I really enjoyed it. And I love the Frazier part. I can’t even remember how long it has been that I have seen that or”Cheers.” 😀. God Bless you, Tom, and your family. And may he bless you with 32 + more years of Love, and Friendship in your marriage. 💜✝️🙏🏼🥰
Thank you. Honest, unflinching. This was my favorite (and most convicting paragraph, as this is what has been weighing on my heart):
"Until you see your own sin, that you are perhaps the biggest sinner in the house, your spouse will never please you. Until you see and repent of your own failings, and take action upon them, your spouse will never believe your testimony or that you are serious about your marriage vows. Be humble enough to ask for help if you need it (and believe your spouse if he/she says that it is needed). Digging in your heels will only start the grave of a failed marriage. Repent, fill the dirt in, and plant flowers instead."

I can't even imagine how much more difficult everything would be without Jesus in my life 💕
