Did I Marry The Right Person?

Did I marry the right person? That is a question that invades our thoughts when marriage disagreements and challenges appear overwhelming. For that reason we need something more than a relationship built on emotions of the moment. We need something big enough to envelop circumstances rather than be enveloped by them.

Puritans called marriage "the little church within the Church," a place to test and also develop spiritual character. Every day marriage calls both partners to love and forgive and stay faithful-hard work that only makes sense if we are convinced somehow that we are participating in a kind of alternate history, one set in eternity.

We can learn each other's strengths and weaknesses, and work out power-sharing. We learn when to probe and when to back off, when to soothe and when to challenge. Gradually, as two independent people share a common reality, a kind of transfiguration takes place. A "second love" emerges. A more mature love.
