This is of a conversation I had been ...Hi, Carrie! <br />This is of a conversation I had been having this week with friends. We'd been discussing the "rise of divorce in this state of economy" (which may or may not be true). It saddens me, nonetheless, when I hear of a couple I know personally who are considering or going through a divorce. I try to wrap my head around this issue and it all comes back to what you said: there ought to be A VERY BIG reason why the marriage has died, and the ones the "Hollywierds" give often not comes close to good reason. They are thrifty excuses and nothing more. <br />So sad....~teachmom~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08941155531027401974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-67895910735446285572009-04-22T07:09:00.000-07:002009-04-22T07:09:00.000-07:00Yes, very well said.

And I love how you apply it to not just marriages, but all relationships. Having a good relationship with anyone takes really hard work and sometimes really hard times. But isn't that really what makes it worth it?Momnerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15210200258895345395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-90469705669407956892009-04-15T15:35:00.000-07:002009-04-15T15:35:00.000-07:00Beaautifully said!Beaautifully said!Holly (2 Kids and Tired)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13075380878850295214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-1788445392020085192009-04-14T14:54:00.000-07:002009-04-14T14:54:00.000-07:00Amen friend.

You're right -- it's much easier to start well than to finish well.<BR/><BR/>I wonder too if they are making such a big deal of it, because he's been outspoken about his faith lately. They (they being the popular media) want us to fail.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03789250398792504412noreply@blogger.com
