Thirty-two years ago my wife and I said, "I do" to the promise of marriage. Today, we are still "doing" and celebrate our years of commitment to one another. Over the course of our marriage we have had some great times and some challenging times. Both of us would say the great times have far outweighed all the other times.
If you were to ask my wife or I the keys to a successful marriage we would not readily be able to give an answer. We would agree that Christ first in our lives is number one key. Never considering divorce as an option would be another key. High on my list to our successful marriage is having a very loving and grace-filled wife as a key. She makes marriage so great that I know my life would be miserable without her.
I do not remember the message our pastor shared thirty-two years ago. I remember promising to love for better or worse, for richer or poorer, and in sickness or in health. After five children, one daughter-in-law, one grandchild, building two homes, two dogs, no cats, one career change, little arguments and big arguments we are still, "I Doing".
