Marriage matters
“Most people understand that marriages can break down—fewer realize they can also be brought back to life.”
Let’s talk about marriage.
News flash – marriage takes work. I’ve had friends who are on their second or third marriage tell me that if they’d worked as hard on their first marriage and they are working on their current marriage they would still be married to their first spouse. After a couple attempts they realize that a perfect marriage is not about finding a perfect person; it’s more like two imperfect people who refuse to give up on each other.
A perfect marriage is not about finding a perfect person; it’s more like two imperfect people who refuse to give up on each other.
Marriage can be wonderful; it can also be… less than wonderful.
Can every marriage be saved? No. Marriage is a voluntary binding agreement between two people and either party may willfully cause its demise.
Should every marriage be saved? No. There are reasons, such as abuse, where the healthier alternative is a clean break and a fresh start.
However, that being said, the overwhelming majority of marriages can and should be saved, cherished and nurtured. This is even more important if there are children involved. Whatever the current state of your marriage, it can become better. There’s always room for improvement.
