Page 63. 61 Years…..

Are you married? Are you going to get married? Have you been married?

Proverbs is full of good advice. Some of it applies to marriage. Such as Proverbs18:22 “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD.” Last Friday, 61 years ago I found a wife. She was a good thing. She is the most wonderful woman in the world.

You might wonder how my marriage has lasted 61 years. It’s very simple. I recall during the wedding ceremony hearing the phrase “until death do you part”. We are both 82 years old now so I guess it could end most any time. My dad died at age 48 but my mom died at age 102.

Although our family has experienced some unpleasant things over the years, I think overall I would say we have found favor from the LORD.
