THE SECRET TO GROWING HAPPILY OLD
WITH YOUR SPOUSE
Nobody pray for untimely death and God never for once say that is for us. Yes, it does happen! It’s not God, but the chief enemy… he is the thief, the killer and the destroyer. But though it’s not God’s PERFECT WILL for us, yet he does permit it! Aside untimely death, many couples life is that of cat and mouse. Some others are tolerating each other, while many others are JUST cohabiting with no love, no care!
The only
reason I can gather for this UNFULFILLED EXPECTATION. This is usually the
dreams, promises and fantasies of premarital love and the courting days that
over the years have gone unfulfilled or on the verge of being too late to
realize breeds resentment, bitterness, and hatred. But UNDERSTANDING will help
us in knowing that dreams and fantasies are not same with realities and thereby
help us in repositioning ourselves: values, expectations and dreams in the
light of the realities.
Therefore, the
only secret to growing up old as a happy couple is in understanding… not only
of our spouses but also of the realities, which will enable us to prepare well
for the inevitable changes that will come our way. Growing up happily old
together with our spouse is not a matter of luck but of understanding, and many
who believe this have learned to cherish this prayer and earnestly pray for it
answers in their life:
Lord give me Courage to change the things that I can change
Give me the Grace to accept the things I cannot change
And the Wisdom to know the difference
Your views are most welcome...
