The Daily Ricky

Today was our 31st anniversary and it was great!

I have a question for those who are married, what keeps some people together; while others do not? I believe it’s called a lack of commitment.

You can call it what you may but, bottom line that’s what it is.

My Mom and Dad lasted 25 years. The reason they got divorced, alchohol. My grandparents over 40 years, before my grandpa died.

I have gone back in my high school annual and counted plenty who have been married twice.

I know this is going to sound hard but, the only biblical reason for divorce is marital unfaithfulness.

Today we get a divorce for verbal abuse or irreconcilable differences. The church needs to wake up, divorce in the church is the same as in the secular world.

Pastors tip toe around the issue because they are afraid od hurting someone;s feelings. Who do we want to please, man or God!!

What we need to do is teach our kids by example, commitment.

Our churches need to teach the biblical reason for divorce and accept no other reason. It’s a hard thing but, it’s the right thing.

In our marriage vows it said, for better or worse; my wife is the embodiment of that vow.

Over five years now, my wife has shown remarkable love. Love that goes beyond the natural. Most women would have walked away, that’s commitment.

Life is not always fair but, staying your ground shows what’s inside.

Lord, help us persevere in all areas of our lives. Amen!!
