Marriage

I heard a man on NPR yesterday make a remark I liked. He was on his third marriage, and when asked if this was it, he was very positive this would be his final marriage, saying, 'I finally learned how to be a decent human being.'

I think that sums up the challenge of marriage pretty well. Marriage puts your whole character to the test, and sometimes we give into easy indecency with our partners--treating them rudely, not trusting, not being kind & respectful.

Test: So when you feel troubled by your relationship, concentrate on being a good, decent person first & foremost and see how far that takes you!
