It doesn't make the headlines, but God knows it and enjoys it.

What a mixed up world we live in. <br /><br />But another thought - how many out there really believe in marriage - but we just don't hear from them? The families, that are quietly going about their lives (in some way that is me - since I don't have a personal marriage ministry actively contacting community, media and government), living a testimony to what God has called, without maybe making as much noise as the others, and yet still holding a much larger than thought percentage...Drewehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12506752511439509824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987271399653590272.post-26198022335620895392012-07-05T05:02:15.977-04:002012-07-05T05:02:15.977-04:00Drewe,

...Drewe,<br /><br />Thank you! And congrats to you as well.<br /><br />I remember that when I was growing up it seemed that most adults were married. Today it seems that most aren't. People appear to be trying to come up with new types and styles of relationships to avoid the commitment that God wants. It's gotten to the point (in the USA at least) that homosexuals want to be married more than heterosexuals do. I suppose this is all another example of the hardness of man's heart apart from Christ.<br /><br />Thanks be to God for his wonderful gift of marriage!Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07306854704766653209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987271399653590272.post-68746307258078173772012-07-05T04:50:39.581-04:002012-07-05T04:50:39.581-04:00Congratulations :D - we just hit 14 years yesterda...Congratulations :D - we just hit 14 years yesterdau (today for you as well), and remarked a similar thing - compared to most of our friends and family, we are happily married and together almost the longest...Drewehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12506752511439509824noreply@blogger.com
