It takes two to tango (Pt. 7)

[Gordie]

SBJ,

What do you believe about divorce and remarriage?

[SBJ]

Gordie, I honestly haven't given it much thought. I guess I have seen and heard many answers over the years on the subject, but I am not certain. Also, since I am taking things one day at a time, I have to get thru with today, before I think about tomorrow. Matthew 6:34 says, “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.

1. We have made it too easy to get divorced in our society and it is now highly accepted.
2. In the church it is very accepted to divorce and annul your marriage just so you can re-marry in the church and be in good standing. Kind of an oxymoron...right? You married, failed, and now we will make it legal for you to have a redo.
3. The statistics don't bode well for 2nd and 3rd marriages.
4. If you are trying to stay faithful to the word, it says till death do you part, not D.

I read a funny comic the other day that had a priest marrying a couple and it said: Do you promise to love and cherish each other until it's inconvenient, or you're tired of it, or somebody more exciting comes along, or it's just not fun anymore?

That kind of sums up our society.

like the one day at a time thing

I also need to practice this

So I received a text from the W about the death of my grandfather. It read, I'm so so sorry about your grandfather. Really sorry. So glad it was peaceful. Prayers are with you and your dad. What can I do?

I simply responded with thanks for the prayers and that is all that needs to be done.

She said, you've got that, I'm really sorry. Give your dad my love. Are you OK?

It was late and didn't respond. She is out of town until tonight. Might get something else might not. I think that we all question our mortality at times, but some of us are better with the coping part.

That was last night. This evening I got a call since she was back in town. Again said she was sorry and then went right into whether or not I wanted her to pick up the kids. End of conversation.

Sorry to hear about your GF

It was kind and caring of your wife to respond
also nice that she feels safe enough to contact you with emotional support
so obviously she feels accepted and unjudged by you-

You also handles it well

IT is best to probably not read too much into stuff-
but know that you are creating a workable R with her at this time
which is best for the kids and everyone concerned

and for the MLCer to feel forgiven-

Continue on your journey-
more will be revealed alter

I am very sorry to read about the passing of your grandfather. May he rest in peace and continue to watch over you and your family. I am keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

SBJ, So sorry about your granddad's passing. {{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}

Hope you have a happy father's day with your family, making new memories and remembering granddad fondly.

xoxoxo

[SBJ]

Happy Father's Day to all the dads on here and all of the moms that play both roles.

Even though I have all of my children today, it is still bitter sweet. I did not become a father on my own. I hope and pray that we all are successful in navigating the rough waters of MLC.

Hey SBJ.....haven't heard from you in a while.

I hope that things in your world are going okay, and that you are taking care of you
