My wife...Hello Jul,<BR/>Congrats on the coming arrival. My wife and I have 5 and have been surprised as well!<BR/><BR/>At those forks you mentioned, it pays to remember what God has said concerning marriage. Faith ultimately is a decision aboout what God has said. How often does the divergence in path represent, one what we say, and the other what God has said.SLWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260137021205685080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8886567613905490071.post-2531870265887918372009-03-29T17:38:00.000-04:002009-03-29T17:38:00.000-04:00Ahh, short and sweet. Been thinking about marriag...Ahh, short and sweet. Been thinking about marriage a lot lately having heard news of another divorce. Hate that news! If I could sum up marriage in one word it would be union I think. And true union in God together is beautiful, fulfilling, and productive. I've been thinking that in every marriage there are points where each person stands with a choice of roads, a time when we can choose seperate paths or stay together. When we come to those decisions we don't understand often the implications, because the roads seem not to be far apart, but as time goes one the roads lead in opposite directions and destroy the union, or at least make coming back together difficult. By God's grace he's kept me and mine on the same path even when one or the other of us would have rathered been very far away from the other! But I can honestly say that now we enjoy a very happy and satisfying companionship ( among the other perks of marriage you mentioned!) <BR/><BR/>Anyway, enough babbling, thanks for the great post!julhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15688008902332240637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8886567613905490071.post-215251428790958872009-03-28T16:40:00.000-04:002009-03-28T16:40:00.000-04:00I wish everyone could see such an example, at leas...I wish everyone could see such an example, at least once.

Just today my 90 year old mother-in-law...Good post. Just today my 90 year old mother-in-law had lunch with us and her daughter and I heard how she and Earl had first courted nearly 70 years ago. It was really amazing how she recounted the details but more amazing how she remembered the emotions that went along with what was happening. They were together for 56 years before he died. <BR/>They protrayed all that you spoke of in your post. It was so good to see them together. Being around them gave a sense of what God had intended for us in marriage.Jeraldhttp://jeraldd.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
