Over the last two decades, I’ve heard some interesting, ridiculous, strange and some sincere reasons for staying married and for getting divorced. I’ve met folks who stay married because of the kids. I’ve met folks who don’t get married because they would loose too much financially.
I’ve known single folks who really wanted to be married. They have had a strong desire for a companion which they had hoped they would find in marriage. I’ve also known single folks who were content and happy with their single lifestyle.
I’ve known married folks who really hated being married. They wish they didn’t have someone to go home to and someone to “report in” to each day. I’ve met parents who really hate being parents. They miss their days of “freedom”.
I’m thankful to love my husband. I’m thankful we are good to each other, care about each other and are supportive of each other. I’m grateful we appreciate each other, are kind to each other and truly want what is best for our marriage and life together. I’m thankful we’ve grown closer, grown together, changed and still embraced each other and we look forward to continuing to grow older together along with the changes it will bring.
I believe God has done something incredible and special in our marriage despite the fact that we do not have children in our home right now. I believe marriage CAN be a wonderful experience. I know it is worth the investment.
In a recent conversation, a young woman told me she had tried everything, even therapy and after only four months of marriage has filed for divorce. It’s a long story and there’s a lot to it. One party was not ready for marriage, one party has a really mixed up view of love, and one party has also watched too many soap operas, romantic movies and read too many romance novels. Both are selfish and do not have a balance of priorities. I have no idea if their marriage could ever make it if given a chance, but FOUR months?

It’s amazing what stupid things people will start a disagreement over. I get tired of it.
Currently, there’s an individual in our church who has really made a muck-up of a lot of things for a lot of years. Well, okay. There’s a couple of them. And I’m sure my turn will come too. In any case, the current fool recently brought me to an anger level I haven’t experienced since before I was born again. It’s a funny thing; trusting Jesus’ payment for your sins makes you a new creation, and you’re so thrilled with the freedom and the relative peace of that new life . . . and then, over the years, things get complicated again.

Dana Hanley is author of the popular family issues blog, Principled Discovery. We’d like to thank her for contributing to the content of Humble O.
On June 6, 2007, the Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion and Belief held a meeting of religious leaders at the House of Lords in the UK. The purpose was to look at the challenges presented to various faiths in the implementation of Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which states,
Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.

Ok, this is nuts. I know it has been all over the news but I am really surprised that there isn’t more of a public outcry over this sort of nonsense.
Clearly this is a police agency in the United States squelching somebody and their opinion. Is this freedom of speech?
