When I accepted the proposal of marriage by my Hero I wasn't entering a contract with man, rather a covenant with God. I've made many mistakes even as an adult. Marriage is extremely hard. There were times we both came close to wanting to quit. I have to remind myself that my commitment is to my God, not man. Man will let me down, God never will. I will fail man, God has already forgiven me. I must live my life with the intent and desire to please my Lord and my Hero must do the same. When this happens, our love and devotion for and to our Lord draws us to Him, causing us to meet in the middle of a powerful union sanctified by our King resulting in a fervent love for one another. Life itself is so dark and quite impossible without God being our Master. Marriage is even tougher. I will do everything in my power, no...in God's power, to strengthen this Union. I write this during a time when we're on a mountain and not in a valley. Keep godly counsellors near for wisdom and direction. Never fail to bathe your Union in holy prayer. And do everything to keep from releasing your covenant to the devil.
