I'm sure that most people who get married, aren't wondering how soon they will get divorced. Everyone expects their marriage to last "forever." But in an age where quickie-divorces are easy and common, actually having a marriage last
until death do you part is getting rarer and rarer. A lasting marriage requires the active committment from both people involved to
stick it out through the tough times:
- the times when you look over at your spouse and wonder if you've married a buffoon (not that that has ever happened, of course!)...
- the times where you aren't even "in the same book" - let alone the "same page"...
- the sad times,
- the times of great loss,
- the angry times,
- the financially unstable times,
- the lonely times,
- the beyond-hard times...
David and I have made this committment -
twice, actually. The first was at our wedding. The second was when we went to a Marriage Encounter weekend and re-affirmed our committment to each other. We are faithful to each other - in our body, mind, and spirit. We choose to stand by each other - no matter what.
Faithfulnes is LOVE HANGING ON. It is love saying, "I WILL NOT QUIT." That is my focus for this layout:
The song lyrics are by Fisher - a song called, "I Will Love You." It is a gorgeous, gorgeous song!
You can bet you'll hear about it again on a Karaoke Tuesday!
