When Divorce Is Not An Option

I married until death do us part. The covenant I made was not just unto Walter only, but also unto the Lord and that keeps me committed to our relationship. I continue each day to seek God regarding our marriage and to trust Him to speak to each of our hearts about the other.

Walter and I are two imperfect people who chose one another to walk this life’s journey together as one. We have been through many trials, situations and circumstances…job losses, financial difficulties, a house fire, loss of a child…things that cause marriages to end in divorce, but we continue to choose to press our way through, together with God.

This weekend we celebrated our twenty-seventh anniversary! Our lives have been busy, so when I considered our celebration I chose a Baecation-Staycation, just the two of us alone together. It was such a blessing to enjoy his company, just he and I. We laughed, cuddled and had good conversation. We even looked at where we are with gratefulness and made some new commitments to one another for our future.

As I enter this next chapter, I am grateful to God for what He has done in me through my marriage. I am learning so much about Him and so much about myself. He stretches me and shows me how to love myself and how to love Walter, well. It’s been a humbling journey and this weekend just encourages me to continue embrace them both all the more.
