Although seemingly associated with funerals, Davids Psalm 23 is more a psalm for the living and contains great wisdom on how to live day by day! First let me congratulate you both on turning to the Lord in times of conflict. After 2 failed marriages I know that they failed all due to the lack of the third member of the relationship, our Lord and Savior Jesus. Becky, who was also married 2 times before, and I will be celebrating our 25th year of Holy matrimony this fall. Recognizing who is the real boss in our marriage to us has made the difference. I would be a liar if I said we never argue but God is the glue that keeps us together and sees us through the hard times!!
This may sound strange but I am relieved to hear it was marital problems and not serious health issues. We were afraid that you may have lost your vision, Eileen or you developed cancer, or someone in one of your families passed on, or that you lost your job, etc! The fact that you two are working out your issues is great news!! It shows strength and character in both of you!
Don, you have many many friends here and any of us would be more than happy to do anything for you even if it is just to talk. Feel free to turn to any of us!
