Beginning And Ending Part 2

Happiness is the couple who has been married for years, knowing despite the circumstances they may have faced, they are in this union together forever and always. The only thing that matters in this marriage is the person they are with. Yes, they see and appreciate the beauty of other people, but their focus is on each other. They started out not knowing what the future holds. They started out on a day by day basis of learning about each other. Not looking to give up when the storms of life, rage. They began by building each other up. Where there is a weakness in one, the other fills in that area. Where there is a strength, they rely on the stronger one. They learn to adapt to many circumstances that come into their lives.
Glad are the moments when they see each other for the first time that day, knowing that it is so by the grace of God. Glad are the moments when they have conversation and come to the understanding of togetherness. Glad are the moments not only in private, but in public also, for it is one in the same, because they wear no masks. They "build" many happy years together.
The scripture that comes to my mind nothing to do with marriage but it gives a valuable message. I've never seen the righteous forsaken are there seed begging bread. Those who live right in marriage are not forsaken by God. Those that do the right thing and make the right choices in marriage,God upholds. God will provide protection, even when the enemy is unseen. God will provide strength, even in the darkest hour. God will prosper this couple. They will not need  an outside counselor. God is their counsellor. They take the Word of God as being literal. Going to church it's not just an exercise, it is a way of life. Prayer is just as important as eating or sleeping. They have set a goal, until death do us part. Everything in between is in the hands of the Lord. Their part to him is to hold his hand. Their part to him is to love their mate as they love God. They don't have to do the checks and balances game. They do their duties as unto the Lord. It is all about pleasing the Lord in marriage. It is equally about pleasing each other in marriage. This was the life of my mother and father. Dad died 30 years before mom. She never married again. She said she had her only husband. Mom and Dad, I honor the lives you lived as an example to my brother and I. Thank you!
