My marriage was worth fighting for~

I'm so proud of Ms Kay Robertson of Duck Dynasty, and of her husband, Phil. They openly share with everyone what they've been through in their marriage, the bad and the good.

And if anyone watched the first episode of the fourth season, or read their books, you know, it was pretty rough in the beginning, for many years: blatantly rough. And for the most part, everyone goes, "awwww, isn't that wonderful. They're doing great, good thing Ms Kay forgave him or we wouldn't have a show today that was number one and so much enjoyment to watch."

Why is it we can't do that for each other in the now, in real life? Someone shares with a friend what she is or was going thru in her marriage, and you get negative feedback and judgment.  We judge the wife that stays with her husband, saying things like" If my husband did that I would NEVER take him back!" "She's an idiot to take him back, he'll just do it again."

I've been married almost 40 years and there have been some rocky times. Without The Lord we wouldn't have made it, just like Phil and Ms Kay. Our own children are very happy we forgave EACH OTHER and worked things out in our own marriage. Marriage is hard, no doubt about it.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 KJV
[9] Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. [10] For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. [11] Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone ? [12] And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Nothing is impossible, and if you're having hard times, seek out Spirit-filled counsel ours, not all counselors are good ones.  If you ask the Lord, he can guide you all the way and get  the help you
need: He certainly helped me.
