Wow this is a depressing thread!
LOL
Marriage is a covenant. When both parties enter into it as such, well, it can work. My wife and I are both 41, and we have been together since we were 18. We both know that divorce is not even something we can entertain. So far so good. We have had our bumps, our arguments, and our feelings hurt. But we know we are stuck with each other. And most importantly we believe the same things about God, the Gospel, and share the same philosophies of life, politics, and raising children. I am devoted to her and I KNOW she is devoted to me. In fact I trust her more than I trust myself. She submits to me as the head of our household and repects me and I provide for her, protect her, and cherish her. I wish others could experience the same in their relationships. God’s blueprint works - well at least it has for us to date!
