Today, Lori and I celebrate forty years of marriage. Her comment to me about this yesterday was, “And they said it wouldn’t last”. And I suspect there were more than a few who thought if not said that.
Honestly, there was good reason to think that way. She was too recently divorced from a bad marriage. I was unprepared to be the step-father of a six-year-old. And while I did have a decent job, the income was not great for a family of three. Then there were the problems we each had that we’d not dealt with. Including some we didn’t even know we had.
The first two years were rough, to put it kindly. We had a lot of problems, and couldn’t find the help we needed from our church. But we had one thing going for us: God. We were both serious about following Jesus, and we knew He would have us deal with our stuff and grow into a great marriage. With His grace and help, that is exactly what happened.
What God did for us, He can and will do for you. Man said our marriage was doomed. God said it was not.
God was right.
