A few weeks ago, I decided to watch the Golden Globes. I am in no way a film aficionado, but I do love seeing the dresses and hearing who is to thank for the success of all of the actors. What I didn’t expect was to hear a hauntingly true statement come out of an evening in Hollywood among the stars, most of whom have been married and divorced… some more than one time. I don’t know if many people picked up on it, but in rang in my ears for days.

If I have learned anything from writing a show about an affair,
it is how sacred and valuable and essential our marriages are.
~ Sarah Treem

Yes, Sarah. YES.

Marriages ARE sacred [set apart for the worship of God]
and valuable [of great worth]
and essential [a matter of the utmost importance].

But so often I let silly, everyday problems get in the way and blur my intentions. I let my pride influence my tone and facial expresses. I find myself wanting to be right, instead of wanting my relationship with Chad to be healthy and fruitful. Ugh. And then I get a lecture from the last place I ever expected – the creator of a show called, “The Affair.” How humbling. So here is to a year of valuing our marriages as sacred and essential, y’all! If it is ever a question, it IS worth it to fight for our marriages, even when we’re fighting ourselves!
