Forever

We live in a world where marriage is so easy to get rid of. We have a fight- we can get a divorce. If a spouse cheats, we can get a divorce. If we have a disagreement we can get a divorce. You don't make enough money, you gain 10 pounds, you go bald, you lose your job, you ask the wrong question, sneeze the wrong way, or wear the wrong outfit- YOU CAN GET A DIVORCE... it is that simple. It is sad... but true!

Sixty years ago today, my grandparents got married. 60 years! They both have passed from this life, and yet their dedication and committment to marriage live on. Things weren't always easy for grandpa and grandma... they raised 5 kids in a 2 bedroom home, and were happy with what they had. They worked through the death of 2 grandchildren, the divorce of all 5 of their children, and living on one salary for the duration of their marriage. Grandma and Grandpa believed that marriage was forever- they believed that it was sacred, godly, and holy.

In a world where marriage is so disposable, I am so thankful that I had grandma and grandpa's example, (and other mentors too), who have shown that God's way truly is the best way for marriage... forever.

Happy 60th Anniversary Grandma and Grandpa! I love and miss you!
