wonderful marriage hits midlife crisis

[TAMF]

Just read The Shack by William Young. Holy cow did this book get me thinking. There is a line in the Forward that says,
"Mack has been married to Nan for just more than thirty-three mostly happy years. He says she saved his life and paid a high price to do it. For some reason, beyond understanding, she seems to love him now more than ever, even though I get the sense that he hurt her something fierce in teh early years. I suppose that since most of our hurts come through relationships so will our healing, and I know that grace rarely makes sense for those looking in from the outside."

I was so moved by this simple paragraph - it is EXACTLY the way I feel.

I loved this book - I have bookmarked several pages that I keep going back to for inspiration. Made me feel really good that I keep loving my husband even though he has hurt me and continues to do so. That I am not crazy for loving him the way I do. It is also the way God loves us. unconditionally.

Just a nice thought to start the week...
