"He who finds a good thing, finds a wife..." I listen to countless stories of those who are married and have married. Happily Married, Unhappily Married, or Happily Divorced.. pick your choice..pick your sin..pick your reason for marrying. My parents never married each other. My father never married my mother. After creating life twice, two children...his first daughter and his first son (who carries his whole name) that wasn't enough for my father to marry her. Instead my father chose to play the game.
My mother
Like the strong woman, my grandmother raised my mother to be...my mother "moved on" and created a life for her children that she always wanted and never had. She eventually got married to a man who now she is unhappily married to.
My father
Like the independant man and thinker his father taught him to be, chose to marry another woman...who sought after him (and who I'm sure my father entertained) during my mother's pregnancy with my brother. My father married and had my little sister and youngest brother with this woman, which whom he is now divorced from. She sent him divorce papers.
I give you some history of my parents because they are my first teachers. By loving me, they taught me how to love others. And who taught them to love as children, their parents. I am blessed to still have all four of my grandparents still alive and who are very proud of me. Their marital status are divorced, remarried, widowed, and single. All four of them embody so much wisdom, but happily married forever is in neither of their fortés.
If God created woman for man, why are relationships so hard? Why aren't marriages forever?
