There has to some serious humility in marriage. Mainly cause it is not about us as individuals. Marriage, kids and family are a special path God has given us to impact lives and the world well into the future for good or for ill. Loose sight of this and everyone looses. A new post is coming. Thanks for your feedback as I want to provoke thought and discussion. Enjoy the "us" time. Blessings, MikeP Thanks Erin and congrats on being a “newbie”.

It's definitely something to celebrate and it sound like a long time to me since I'm not even one year into marriage. I appreciate that you took the time to comment on such an important topic. The most impressive aspect of your dialog is that you look at this from a humble perspective. It was good to hear somebody acknowledge that just simply being a church-going person doesn't make you better at marriage. It shows that it's a challenge to all people whether they attend church, are of a certain faith, or don't believe in religion or spirituality at all. Realizing that people of all backgrounds struggle just as much as we do is a necessary viewpoint when trying to keep a marriage strong - we don't deny that it's expected to be hard sometimes, and that better prepares us to work through those times. Of course, I barely know what I'm talking about since I'm a newbie and I can't say Scott and I have had to deal with any real challenges, yet. I'm just enjoying what I expect to be a lifetime relationship - one that will be worth my while no matter how it may challenge me at times. Thanks again for your post. ET Congratulations on 18 years.
