I have a loving, patient, kind, handsome, and quirky husband. Our days are not always good, we dont always think very highly of the other, and there are things we would probably like the other to see fit to change about their behavior...but we have a covenant.
Have I ever thought of leaving, yes. Have I ever wanted our marriage to end, NO!
In the age we live in, we are shown that when the "going gets tough, the tough get going." And generally it is straight to the divorce lawyer.
We are justified by those who tell us that life is too short to be unhappy, or that we deserve better than.....
Let me tell you what I have learned in my own marriage. Life is too short to marry someone you can't argue with, and get over it.
Even in this season of hope and joy, I am seeing the hands of destruction come down on the lives of those around me. I am not exempt from such mayhem, and am trying to keep my faith, in spite of the fear.
Do me a favor. Hug your spouse today, wether you want to or not. Kiss them today, wether you want to or not. And love them today as if you aren't afraid. Fear is miracle grow for insecurity and doubt, but faith is what will see you through.
