Marriage


"Marriage is not just spiritual communion, it is remembering to take out the trash!"
Dr. Joyce Brothers


This weekend I have the privelege of doing a wedding for a couple whose parents are friends of mine. In reading and rereading my notes for the ceremony I am reminded the awesome task that lies ahead of this couple. Keeping love and a relationship on healthy grounds is not an easy task. I was telling a friend this last week that what most people (Christians in particular) do not realize is that the ones who hate divorce most are the ones who are divorced. No one goes into marriage thinking it won't last. But time and pressure and absence of heart along with a whole host of other things contribute to the breakdown of relationship. I have learned that to combat this breakdown you have to both want to go and to grow. Relationship happens in the context of "doing stuff". Find what you are passionate at and do that together. Do everything together. I have made many mistakes but I hope that I have learned from them and that my tomorrow will be glorious!
