God has given us a role to play where he’s placed us but we're not responsible for the big picture. That's not our job, it's the job of the landowner. What a relief! When the weight of the world’s problems seems too heavy to bear we need to remember this single most important truth…...

Someone once told me that the nuclear bomb of all words to drop in a marriage is the “D” word. Divorce for highly happily married couples is never an option. As one couple said, “When marriage is forever, the only option is ‘Let’s work through it.” Commitment in the relationship allows both parties to become completely emotionally invested.
