There are good times and bad times in life. People don't seem to take marital vows very.seriously anymore. Unfortunately, we aren't always put on this earth for personal satisfaction and happiness. One would usually never think of abandoning their children, because they are their flesh, and in marriage God made two people one in mysterious ways through their vows to each other and before God. We are not always promised personal happiness in life. Life is about developing character and fortitude and never giving up and it is often a test of keeping our promised. The real rewards for those who stick.it out are in the next life. Abuse should not be tolerated. I was sick and left by my spouse and he had to bear a lot until after many years he decided to pack it in. I do my best to forgive him. because he was my only love and I recognize it wasn't easy. I must trust God to take care of me and take care of myself the best I can. It has been many years since the divorce and I am finally growing to appreciate the non complications of being unattached. We marry for happiness which is purely selfishness, even relationships are bastions to getting what we can get. There is much tragedy in life, so I try to enjoy the little things. I struggle financially and had to go through cancer alone at age 45. That was rough, but my bible says that God will never leave if forsake me. It's hard on the spouse of an I'll person, but never forget they don't get to leave their lot in life. Love is patient, love is kind, considering, hardly notices when others do it wrong, it bears all things, it is not proud. Love never fails. And we can only have that live through God, who IS love. We all fail at real love, but some hang in and keep trying whatever the cost. I applaud those people because that is the road of suffering. Would I do it? Not in my own strength I'm sure, but it is a decision.
