We used to fall in love and get married; now we sleep together, live together, and if things work out right, we draw up a marriage contract. Surely, these kind of marriages are found wanting. Such relationships can easily be severed with a simple handshake or a carefree good-bye.
God’s creative marriage offers so much more. It is the sharing of history together…his story and your story. This shared history unites us as few things in life can. No marriage contract, or live-in relationship, will ever equal the joy of shared history that springs from a lifetime commitment to each other.
