Who knew? : ) I'm finding His way is not what I would have picked but amazingly, somehow better.

You are so right!!!!! It took me a long time to figure it all out but after the Love and Respect class that we took, it all made sense and to me, my marriage and my love for my sweet one, just renews itself daily. The divorce rate would be so much lower if people would just stop and think about the real commitment that was made before God and to quit thinking of marriage as just some piece of paper that keeps them joined. Always love reading your perspective on things Lacey......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263308152895310127.post-69437487213956140632009-10-05T09:19:54.873-07:002009-10-05T09:19:54.873-07:00It is all about SACRIFICE.

Emotions that follow will (maturity) are much more dependable than will that follows emotions (immaturity). But covenant love is also redemptive. Being a doormat or always giving in or enabling bad behavior is not covenant love.

We learn so much as we experience life together. And we learn from others, like you, who take the time to write about all that they are learning! <br />Thanks!<br />LeanneLeanne Boonenoreply@blogger.com
