Considering Quixote

[Truegritter]

I married my wife "till death do us part." I made that commitment to my wife before God and our community, and I will honor it.

But at what cost to you and your family?

To me those words don't mean you sacrifice yourself to the marriage.

I see you doing a lot of "what if"

and a lot of "BUT for"

EXCUSES.

There is one thing I am going to guarantee you Daniel

THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES

You cannot control what your W chooses to do.

Not even "till death do you part" She has a right to divorce you if she wants to.

How you react to that choice will define who you are.

You said "in good time and in bad, for better or worse"

You gave her some worse and now you're getting some.

You will be forgiven for your past when you decide to forgive yourself and choose differently.

When you choose to make YOUR choice and live the words you cherish and hold dear

Not because you get what you want but IN SPITE OF GETTING WHAT YOU WANT.

What choice here for you is best aligned with the man you want to be?

What choice best lives out your words? YOUR VALUES? What actions speak for what you believe?

I will say this to you again Daniel.

FIGURE THAT OUT FIRST.

Then the "what ifs" won't matter...
