Yesterday I began to share something I composed some years ago to be part of a
document for a niece as she got married in June 2004. That document was created as a compilation of entries under the title:
THE TEN BEST... or
The Wisdom of the most important women in your life.
Each woman who submitted an entry chose her own subject matter. I promised to
post my entry on this blog.
This is the second of our top decisions in the list of:
The
Top Ten Decisions Guiding Our Married Life
By
Uncle John and Aunt Linda Worden
2. Divorce is not an option.
Malachi
2: 15a - 16a Has not the Lord made them one?...do not break faith with the wife
of your youth. “I hate divorce,” says
the Lord God of Israel. Since this is how God feels about divorce, we decided we would
live out his desire for married couples.
Marriage is also a picture of the relationship between Christ and the
church - bridegroom and bride. His love
for the bride is unconditional - characterized by forgiveness, sacrifice and
grace. We committed to have that be our
goal as a married couple. It’s not
always easy but we have absolutely no regrets for having followed this decision
throughout our lives.
Added note in August 2012:
With 46 years of marriage behind us, we continue to be committed to each other exclusively "till death shall separate us or Christ returns."
