If marriages can break down these barriers, the rate of divorce in the world today will reduce significantly. Marriage is meant to last forever. This is really reawakening piece of reflection.

Thank You,
Joe

I think you are on the right track, but should look at it from a different way.

What barriers have been taken down so divorce is easy? When you think about it, this list is quite long. One might even make the case that barriers have been put up to prevent marriage. (Is all my parents needed was a blood test and a marriage license. Their marriage lasted until death parted them. Nowadays it seems like you have to be psychoanalyzed, go thru tons of classes, and, as Jack pointed out, it does nothing.).

So, as you pointed out, what to do about the troubles that develop during a marriage?

Again I turn to Jack’s view. I agree wholeheartedly with what he says about a successful marriage. I would only add one more thing, respect one another.

Mark

God’s timing with your reflection is perfect. It’s our 29th anniversary today and we are still learning, struggling, learning. Thank you for the reminders.
