Have you ever looked at a [married] couple and thought, yep they're meant to be together.
Have you ever idealised their relationship, thinking it is perfect or completely honest or they have a good communication.
Have you ever had that friend who seems to have found 'true love'.
I have a couple of really great married friends that would check all the above boxes... so that's why today as i heared one of my married friends have separated it really shattered my insides, so bad i felt sick.
The hardest thing is realising that even the most perfect of couples have problems.
I would've considered this [christian] couple as ones that would grow old together but today i think i was hurt beyond belief to find out the opposite.
Having my own parents in the midst of a divorce, has made this situation hit particularly close to home. At the time when i am seeking an example of good godly relationships i find brokenness and pain around every corner.
How do i recover hope that the sanctity of marriage still exists, the promise of forever still hold's fast and that a vow of through sickness and health richness and poorness remains?
I know full well that my God is a God of restoration, He is a God of hope, He is a God of peace, He is a God of honor and commitment.
And sometimes the promises laid out in the bible is the only words of hope i hear, and God's unconditional Love is the only example of a never ending union. but that is enough.
