"Marriage is for grown folks"

Marriage is for grown folks… I know that's right.

Married for eighteen months… they decided to get a divorce.  This is a sad but true story.  They had a beautiful wedding.  Sadly, there is no storybook ending.  They were not able to work things out.  How is that possible?    I don’t know.

Our first year of marriage was difficult. Fighting on our honeymoon.   In our first apartment, one of us tossed keys on the lawn. Years later, we are mellow…we have our ups and downs. We negotiate,  compromise,  listen, and  pray. We work to maintain a strong prayer life.  In addition, we work to be have close relationships within our small group from church.   We schedule date nights. Simple fun. Now, we can look back and laugh at some of our past escapades. We have to own and admit our failings and sins. In the midst of if all, God is faithful. 

Happy Anniversary Jimmy and Joyce! Yesterday, they celebrated 47 years of marriage. 

We were able to spend time together during this year's Carter Family Reunion during the Labor Day Weekend.
