What do you do when you get married?
That's the perceptive question that former president Bill Clinton received yesterday from the press. Only "the press" was 5-year old McKenna Chance! It's a tough question for any of us really, if we're honest about it. What do we do when we get married...aside from the usual stuff? Mike Mason wrote in The Mystery of Marriage, "There is no one who is not broken by this process [the process of marriage]. It is excruciating and inexorable, and no one can stand up to it. Everyone gets broken, at least a little, on the wheel of love, and the breaking that takes place is like nothing else under the sun." Maybe that's why the psalmist said, "Unless the Lord builds the house, it's builders labor in vain." (Psalm 127:1)

A life time (long life hopefully) facing another of the other half of humanity and wondering how I got myself into this amazing relationship. Hey we got to raise 2 girls and still amazed by their lives. God has a plan and a man and a woman equals....... to be contnued.
Hey Al, I like this, it get me thinking and feeling good things
Thanks, Kirk
P.S. how am I doing for a first try?
For a first try, not bad. Kirk! Greetings! Wonderful to hear from you. Yes, marriage is definitely different. The kids and the grandkids later...and we're still here with each other. We never go away. Kind of persistent, like His love. Blog away Kirk!
