It saddens me to see how little marriage means to people, even as they enter into the sacrament. For many, it's nothing more than a way of legitimizing (briefly) a relationship, but there's a built-in thought that it's only intended to last as long as it's easy, comfortable, and fun.<br /><br />My husband and I have been married for 38 years now, and we've had our struggles. But despite them... even, perhaps, because of them... there is no one I trust more, no one who knows me better, and no one who loves me despite my many flaws. The knowledge, trust, and unconditional love of God for us is imperfectly reflected in our married lives, I know, but this is like the love of God for us.NCSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17617227847364562989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6484599.post-81088895969713750672010-07-17T17:48:27.410-04:002010-07-17T17:48:27.410-04:00It does seem like a call...with unexpected turns. ...It does seem like a call...with unexpected turns. On a humorous note, a man created a blanket specifically to help married people -- a fart blanket. :)<br /><br />In a history of the English Language class, I learned that in church history, a rather intense argument sprang up between someone who said that marriage was okay and holy and someone who wanted to prove that single people were more holy. Funny how pride can so easily enter into the mix, huh?<br /><br />Marriage, I think, is sharing life and being sacrificial at times (me, pretending to so that he will be more so):)Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06448703279740052765noreply@blogger.com
