In love? It's not enough to keep a marriage!

There's been a recent study that proves this to be the case. I can tell you from my own experience that this is the case! I've been married four (4) times. The first three were for self-centered reasons, and the current (4th) was for God-centered reasons. Without Christ as a center-piece of our marriage this too would have ended. Why? For the same reasons the other three did!

Here's what I personally garnered from the article: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090714/lf_nm_life/us_couples (The study, entitled "What's Love Got to Do With It," tracked nearly 2,500 couples -- married or living together -- from 2001 to 2007 to identify factors associated with those who remained together compared with those who divorced or separated.) .....

Our children DID influence the longevity of my marriages
"Partners who are on their second or third marriage are 90 percent more likely to separate than spouses who are both in their first marriage." (definitely a factor in relationship 2, marriage 2 and 3)
Not surprisingly, money also plays a role, with up to 16 percent of respondents who indicated they were poor or where the husband -- not the wife -- was unemployed saying they had separated, compared with only nine percent of couples with healthy finances. (I've made a very good living off of this factor [I founded a Bill Payment/Debt Management Company] and it was a huge factor in failed marriage #3).

Why the use of blue and pink lettering in my above conclusions? Because some years back my present wife and I attended a marriage seminar and the presenter pointed out that men see life through "blue lenses" and women see it through "pink lenses" or as another author put it one faction is from Mars and the other from Venus. The challenge for a successful marriage is for both to first of all recognize and acknowledge these profound differences and then make a "commitment" to work toward seeing life through "purple lenses" (pink + blue = purple). It's not a perfect science or art by any means and therefore it DOES TAKE COMMITMENT! And many times you need a referee to help with the compromise "color" - for me (very stubborn and self-centered) the Holy Bible and a commitment to follow Christ has been the referee I needed.

What about you and your spouse? Have you read the article? Are you committed to each other? Are you willing to be self-less and compromise for the sake of the other? Have you got the best referee in the world to help resolve "color blindness"?

May God bless each of you ...
