Some people use the term BALL and CHAIN when they refer to marriage. When they dont understand what the Bible says about marriage then it will most likely turn out that way. You ever heard that song that says I wish I didnt know now what I didnt know then? I have thought that many times in my life for one reason or another. I have been married and divorced twice and widowed once, in that order. I have experienced a long up and down rollercoaster ride in the world of marriage. Sometimes people think that the couples who stay married the longest are the real experts in marriage. To me they are true heroes because they gave their marriage the attention it needed. Regardless of how they did it, they made it work. I know many of my classmates from Ballinger and San Angelo are still with your first love. Some of you have been divorced and re-married and are still I with your current spouse with a stronger bond than before. Did I ever think I would be married four times? No, I did not. I was left the first time, I left the rebound second marriage and I was widowed on the third. I made many many mistakes in each and every one of them. Will I make those same mistakes with Elizabeth? No, I wont. Not that I wont make mistakes, but not on how I will treat her. She is a precious jewel to me. Most of all, she is Gods daughter, I had better treat her right. The wisdom I have gained over the years has changed me drastically. As far as arguing about anything, it just wont happen. I am burned out from all that. I believe in working things out in a civilized manner. We are best friends, that is how it should be. During my 15 year marriage with my late wife Linda, I never once touched another woman in an intimate manner. I never flirted with other women. I loved that woman with all my heart. I didnt want anyone else, even with all the problems we had. I made many mistakes and acted a fool many times to, but I never cheated on her. Not long after she died, I asked God to protect me from myself, from the desires of the flesh that I knew would be coming alive in me in the near future. As time went by, opportunities came and went and during my 6 years, 1 month, 11 days, 18 hours, and 45 minutes (give or take a few minutes), I have NEVER been with another woman. Thats right, I said NEVER. God was faithful. He carried me I through those years that were so full of grief and loneliness, and then I met Elizabeth and my broken heart started to heal. I still suffered mild depression during the time that followed but I became stronger. She showed me a special love that not even 8000 miles could stop. I didnt care how long it took, this woman was going to be my wife. Yesterday, August 27, 2014, Maria Elizabeth Olivar became my wife.
