I feel for those who have gotten into bad marriages. God gave me a wonderful wife for 20 years then called her home.
Looking at my handsome sons just makes me more grateful for his gift. (Want beautiful children marry a beautiful woman.) It is disturbing that all good people cannot have the same happiness given me.
When I see one partner giving their all while the other does nothing but screw things up it is very disturbing. Not even Christ condemns all divorce in any case. Nor should one forget that marriages in ancient cultures were far different that those of today. Most of them were arranged and involved the respective families far more than those of today and these arrangements could lead to violence if one party was not pleased. Marriages were often as much political arrangements as anything and the feelings of the couple (particularly the woman) was not important.
God Bless ya! you have been a lucky man! I always say LOVE is overrated but in your case it was special!
Thank you. You sound very blessed. My wish is for at least twenty years, maybe fifty, but I'll take every day and cherish it more so because I have a sense of contrast.
