Yesterday towards the end of the sermon, I slipped my hand into Hubby's hand.
This is not an unusual thing - holding hands, I mean. But this time, it was slightly different.
The preacher had shared from his heart from Mark 10. His topic was Jesus" Sex, Money and Power." He covered the latter two swiftly and easily. Then he tackled the first one - a difficult topic - on marriage, divorce and re-marriage. It was done very well. (You'd have to get the CD to fully appreciate it. If you want it, let me know and I'll see what can be done)
Listening to the message, I felt very thankful for the twenty-six and more years that Hubby and I have had together. In this day and age, where so many marriages have been broken, ours is fast becoming a minority.
So I slipped my hand into his, and as he grabbed mine back, we signaled our love and commitment towards one another, intent on not taking it or one another forgranted.

It is so hard to keep a marriage together nowadays. It seems people have the belief that marriage is disposable. As soon as it gets hard they want out, instead of trying to make it work. I admire you and your husband for keeping it together and understanding the treasure that is a long and happy marriage. Congrats!
Thanks Nikki. It's not always plain sailing and certainly we dont always FEEL in love with one another. But because we feel strongly that marriage is a commitment, and not an optional or extra, we have had to work at it. Give and take a lot!
