    Marriage, according to God, is the Covenant Union of a man and a woman for the purpose of committing to one another. It was never meant to be a contract. It was never meant to be a place where we bring our 50% and the other person bring their 50%. It is total commitment.

    When life turns bitter we can become better if we quit blaming God, quit trying to isolate ourselves from people who really care, and finally get ready to embrace a new season of hope. There is be glory, after this! God’s word still has answers for a plagued world.

We don’t always have the tools to navigate an emotional roller coaster, especially if we’re dealing with something that we’ve never faced before.
