Before anybody reads this and thinks that Jenn and I are having issues, this most is geared towards some friends of mine who are having marriage issues. I, ____, take you, ____, to be my (husband/wife). I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honor you all the days of my life. These are the typical words that are said during marriage vows. These words are spoken in front of God, our friends, our family...the people that will serve as the best witnesses towards these promises. That is what they are...promises. Marriage is NEVER going to be easy. Everything about this world is against having a family. In the spiritual world, the enemy is trying to destroy everything about us. If he can destroy a family, he can destroy our kids. And at that point, the generational bond is looked in forever. We are a generation of broken homes and divorced parents. Every relationship we have ever seen is a complete mess and we have no clue what we are doing. When the going gets tough, we threaten divorce or taking away the kids because that is how we have seen our parents handle not wanting to live up to their promises. Whether it is your wife or your husband, there is no such thing as a perfect person. We all have our insecurities, our jealousies, our wishing that our loved ones looked or acted a certain way. We need to take the good with the bad and we need love them when it is the hardest to. We need to remember our promises and we need to hang on for what would be the bumpiest road we will ever travel. We are all human. We all make mistakes. The question is simple when one makes a mistake, Is the mistake that maybe took a few minutes to make worth throwing away the family that took years to build?.
