Wow - unbelievable
Wow. Unbelievable. I just heard this morning that someone I've known and looked up to for many years just got divorced a few weeks ago, after 33 years of marriage. This is a guy I thought would be married for the duration. He and his wife really loved each other, and they were able to work through any differences they had - I guess until recently. My understanding is that the issues they had in their marriage were longstanding ones, but that doesn't minimize my feelings of deep disappointment. It's discouraging, because so many marriages have dissolved or are falling apart these days. I know several couples who have either divorced or are struggling deeply. It's hard these days to hold onto the hope of "happily ever after."What's going on with our society and culture? Happy marriages used to abound - it seemed like you saw them all around you. I admit, I'm older than many in Wireclub, but it doesn't seem like that long ago. As a young adult I knew many happy couples - couples who were thriving and enjoying each other's company the last time I saw them. But wow - today it seems like not many people are enjoying that blessing. I think most of us hope that someday we'll be living with the person whom we can enjoy the rest of our lives. I hope that will continue to be true, and that many of us will realize that dream. Hang in there, all ... I do know that it can be done, and I do know several couples who have done it! I wish for all of you all the happiness that can be found in this life.
I dont b'lieve we're cut out for an indefinite eternity with the same person - or maybe I should say I'm not.........
