Marriage as a Christian

My marriage was taken away from me.  It was not my decision to end my marriage.  It's interesting that I can feel like I have moved past John George but not the marriage.  Its the lose of the marriage that continues to break my heart.

Marriage as a Christian should be different than any other marriage.  Marriage is not about liking that person everyday or maybe even loving them everyday.  I once heard a very wise friend say that while love might not always be a part of her marriage the will to love is.  Husbands and wives go through up and down cycles just as most things in life do.  And as a Christian we are called to honor the promise we made in our marriage to God and to our spouse no matter what feelings may come.  God sanctified marriage.

I may have despised the man that I saw JG become during the divorce but I never lost the desire to continue to love him and stay committed to him.  I never lost that desire not because of the way I felt about JG but because of the way I feel about Jesus Christ.
