A promise
One of the ultimate promises is the wedding vow. We promise not only to each other but to God that we will commit to that other person. We promise to be there whether we want to or not sometimes. I think this is one of the reasons a Christian marriage is so important, it's fairly easy to renege to another person but it's much harder to renege to God. This promise however keeps us around long enough to work thru things instead of just bolting at the first sign of upset. So keep your promises to yourself and God. God bless! Karen
