“The sum which two married people owe to one another defies calculation. It is an infinite debt, which can only be discharged through all eternity.”
~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
How sacred a thing marriage is! Johann’s statement teaches in a few words how Heavenly Father views this sacred institution and how far our ‘enlightened’ society has departed from His ways. We believe marriage can be eternal when built upon correct principles with God as a ‘working partner’. It is often very difficult and there are a multitude of ways from our mortal approach, that it ‘simply won’t work’. With anything difficult in life, when we always include the Lord and put His desires for us ahead of our own, we use His tools…daily prayer (together and on our own), fasting, study of His word…, He can smooth out the rough spots. Difficult marriages can be saved when both partners are open to all possibilities, have a humble, willing approach and embrace the answers that come. kdm
