Marriage links for the week
Ann Wilson of Marriages Restored tells the story of how her affair of 10 years ago began, developed, and nearly destroyed her marriage with Ben. The story is in four parts: One, Two, Three, and Four. The beginning is sad and painful, but the end is a restored marriage:
Our relationship today is more than I ever imagined it could be on our wedding day. We have a level of intimacy that is amazing and is our best protection against infidelity sneaking it’s way into our lives again. Ben is the protector of our family. He has regained a strength that he was designed to possess. And he is now my persistent pursuer. I am no longer the controlling, guarded woman. I have learned to rest. And it is in that rest that I have discovered (and am still discovering) the woman God designed me to be rather than the woman the world demanded I be.
Marla Swoffer, The Proverbial Wife, shares a little essay about the proverbial husband.
I love marriage, but I hate Wal-Mart. I'm not sure how to feel about this.
