On our way to park our car in the garage at the hotel this weekend
for a marriage retreat Janann and I were on we encountered a young
lady working the parking booth to let us into the garage. She was
blown away that a couple had to work on their marriage. It literally
confused her. Perhaps she got her view of marriage from hollywood
where if it is real love it is perfect. Maybe she just didn't
believe in marriage at all and assumed that if we were at a marriage
conference it was because our marriage was in trouble like every
other marriage she had ever seen. Who knows?
What I do believe is that if your not "working on your marriage" then
it's probably "working you" (over). I've been there, have you? How
do you work on your marriage? How do you seek to understand your
spouses heart?
If you "work on your marriage" it will "work on you". I am a better
person because of this weekend. Though she will never make full
sense to my head she makes complete sense to my heart.
