And occasionally... it can mean divorce. Unfortunately. I do not believe that will happen for you, but it did for me, and I still have a lot of heartbreak and ripples and repercussions from having to cancel covenants that are supposed to be eternal, but that were canceled when someone made some pretty destructive choices. <br /><br />In my current marriage, I also find that following Heavenly Father first puts me in occasional conflict with my spouse, and him with me :) because neither of us are perfect, and marriage is about us convenanting with heavenly father and lifting each other higher and higher as we all obey covenants and all grow. I love that quote you gave. Heavenly Father loves you just the way you are, but he loves you to much to want you to stay that way. Marriage is that triangle you talk about. triangles are pretty strong.... I think ancient eutruscan builders used them or something. <br /><br />I am sad you have to spend a bit of time away from your spouse. It is not fun. You will be OK, though, and he will, because, eternal covenants. That security is something to rest on and be blessed by and be lifted by. We are both blessed now, you and I, to have wonderful spouses who are serious about keeping covenants. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00466860937596192472noreply@blogger.com
