Education...

I am torn apart inside because I have again witnessed the dissolving of marriage. I have two friends who were recently divorced.... I am shocked and so sad I can hardly express it. It makes me wonder why the fundamentals of life have been over looked. How is it that we do not forget to teach our children how to read or write? Yet we some how forget to teach them about the most significant relationship that they will have with another person? That they will have to give 100% and expect nothing in return, that it will nearly break you and that somehow the process will make you the best person that you can be? That giving yourself wholly to another person will make you happy.... I am so happy with my life, because I have had great examples of how hard it is to make it work, and yet how worth it, it is. I have a wonderful husband, and we have a great relation ship, but that doesn't mean we don't continue our marriage education. We watch discussions, we talk to each other, we learn together, we work together, most importantly we pray together.
Life is a long and wonderful lesson, and its most beautiful most breathtaking rewards are those simple moments holding hands or on a walk together, those little words, "I love you" and the task of enduring forever, because there is no end to Gods most splendid blessing. Marriage. We should teach our children by example and by what ever means are available about maintaining marriage, good, happy, strong marriage and all that it takes to make one.
Marriage is an empty box, you only get out of it what you put in to it. Shouldn't we put in our best so that your children and grand children are free from the bitter pain and needless loss of divorce. Divorce is a disease that is spreading with pandemic force through our world. No one is untouched by it. But are we looking for a cure, when there already is one?????
Selflessness, Education, Hard work, Prayer and Faithfulness. Some of life's most challenging situations have the most simple solutions.
