Marriage Matters Blog, 002
When Dennis and I met, I was not looking for a spouse, but was busy with a satisfying career, and thought marriage had passed me by decades earlier. There was hope I would meet someone to travel with and enjoy in my retirement years. God had better plans, and brought Dennis into my life at a time when I was really going to need him. What a blessing he has been to me! To be sure, it hasn’t an easy adjustment after being single for 48 years. Habits are hard to break, but when I get over myself and admit my mistakes, love and forgiveness flows.
Before we married, a wise person gave an encouraging Bible verse, Ecclesiastes 4:12b, “a cord of three strands is not easily broken.” When we keep Christ at the center, and desire to live like him, keeping each other as top priority, our marriage will not unravel. Our bond remains strong in Him and overcomes our individual weaknesses. I am a most fortunate woman, to have a godly husband in Dennis.
