Marriage has got to be one of the most complex forces on this planet. Marriage takes us through a roller coaster of emotions that I don't think people even know they possess until they are in the midst of it all! Heights of pure unadulterated joy and happiness to pits of utter despair and devastation encompass our marital emotions. A journey that I think all should take and press through. When you are in the pits the want to give up is as strong a force as a rocket blasting off into space. The heights make us rejoice and feel pleasure in ways that humbles us to their power.
I have taken this ride more times than I can count. I am divorced from a man, who I was totally in love with and devoted to, based on his uncontrolled rage. I am currently married to a man who is a refining fire for me, that I love, but am hesitant to trust. I have shared journeys with many many women who have cried and laughed along with me and I with them through their journey. I do not long for Ben, thank God, He delivered me from the ties that bound us. Those ties were not of Him. I enjoy that we are able to be friends. Jay and I have stuck out times when both of us would have rather walked, I appreciate my husband's commitment and dedication to his family. Jay has always kept me on my feet and that is exactly what I need. Being a Sagittarius, I need someone who doesn't bore the fire out of me! :)
I heard a statement the other day that "love is the strongest force on earth, and the most fragile." What truth!! Our divorce rate in America speaks to this truth. We think if we are unhappy that someone else will make us happy, forgetting that joy comes from within us. I think our love, if we are Christians, should separate us from the rest and even if we feel that our marriage is a curse, we persevere. Love IS fragile when it's not founded on God. Since God is Love then when He resides in us, we are able to accomplish and overcome the impossible. The pits of marriage can seem impossible!! I already said, I have sat in more than one of those ugly pits. So be encouraged that even when your love seems fragile and the pit carries the force of a rocket to propel you out and away, it is just part of the journey to reach the next heights that humble you to pure pleasure!
So where do you stand on marriage?
