Marriage is a miracle. Not the getting married, but the staying married.
I went to my cousin's wedding this weekend.
I love weddings. There is almost always hope and belief that it is forever.
But 50% of marriages end in divorce.
Those of us who are married and have never divorced may like to think that we have some special skill or know how. But staying married is a miracle.
A beautiful miracle.
God taking two people and combining their lives, opinions, ideas, hopes, dreams, sorrows, baggage, weaknesses and everything else and making it work.
Don't get me wrong, the people involved play a role in whether or not they stay married.
But sustaining anything for many years is hard. And people aren't perfect. And love doesn't solve all problems. Happiness isn't constant.
Marriage is a miracle.
I am so thankful that God has blessed me with a good marriage. A husband I love and respect and enjoy spending time with. Someone who loves me even though I'm crazy. I hope I never take this gift for granted.
