Would you open you marriage to save it? Posted: 8/15/2009 4:46:22 PM | Roaring fires may seem to burn out-but sometimes they smolder-and then light up again. I'm not speaking from personal experience-two divorces say it all--but my parents just celebrated their 48th anniversary. They still hold hands, sit close together and share a bible at church. Yes the do still fight sometimes, but they would give their lives up for the other one without a second thought. It hasn't been easy on them-my dad drove a truck for a lot of years. He worked outside the home and my mom stayed home-or not on "public work". She took care of me, the house, the yard also worked in tobacco fields to help bring in money. So I guess you could say that she "gave" up some things for my dad and me, but I don't think she regrets it. My parents stayed together thru the rough times and thru the good times. I always thought that a marriage takes two people to make it work---and yes, sometimes you have to be the one giving and sometimes the one taking-you work together...Hey, but what do I know? I'm still alone! Just one person's humble opinion.. | | | |
