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?

Humble O Radio is a net based LIVE INTERACTIVE Talk Show hosted by Christian Comedian Marty Daniels. It’s a fun, funny conversation about today’s events including Life, Culture and Faith and how each one of those areas impact the other.
Tonight we discussed Christians being crazy, the line between grace and judgment, the war in Iraq, the moral obligations of the military to explain to young kids that when they sign up for a college payment program that they very well may become warriors. We talked about the churches backing out of many segments of culture and ideas of how the church can get up off the mat and engage culture again.

Today’s cool topic of semi-obscurity: Sustainability. It’s like a catchy piece of jargon you hear your kids using, but you’re not really sure what it means. The sustainability movement is a reaction to the idea that many of our North American cultural and economic practices are geared to fail in a couple of generations, or even after a couple of decades. Non-sustainable practices are often billed as things like strip mining, Big Oil, deforestation, and urban sprawl. Oh, and let’s not forget the Exxon Valdez. Very non-sustainable for a lot of seagulls.
