i grew up in an abusive home with 2 parents who never divorced but we lived dysfunctional with a capital D. when i was 18 i had an encounter with God that changed a plan i'd made with a bottle of my dad's vodka and my mom's dexadrine (uppers). this began a relationship with God that has fascinated me for decades. long story short i met and married a fella with similar spiritual views and we got married. we've been married to each other for over 28 years. we stated up front that divorce is not an option.
now, reality is our marriage needs counseling help and i don't know how things will shake out. we are committed to each other and our marriage and believe our faith in God will help us get past a barren place we've come to after many years together while ignoring some hurts and problems we've got.
i do value marriage and believe it is spiritually healthy and has proven its worth through thousands of years of history in many parts of the world. there is a security, structure, support in marriage. i've had some painful years in my marriage but i have never regretted being married to my husband - i've regretted his failures and /or mine but God has never let me down and that makes marriage a healthy bond. i don't think i could stay married without God's help though because marriage and family are the toughest jobs you will ever love.
