We all “ruin” our marriage in one way or another. I’ve discovered that most people that have been married for 40+ years are not still married because they just picked the right person. Rather, they are still married because when one “ruined” the marriage, the other stuck by them, and they both learned. It left scars, but they leave the event stronger.
I am not talking about constant sleeping around and the compulsive gambler that utterly destroys the family financially. But even then, both can learn from it and carry it into their next relationship. Everyone has plenty of bad baggage when they die. And much of it is self inflicted.
That is why we all need Jesus.
Amen. Thank you.
