The Insult-for-Insult Club By Dennis Rainey
|
|

Weighted Down?
Ever have a moment (or a few, if you’re anything like me!) when life just doesn’t make sense? A couple of weeks ago, as I sat looking at my prayer list that gets longer by the day, I felt utterly overwhelmed. The list went across an entire spectrum of needs. A precious niece was in hospital bravely fighting a battle with Crohns. A dear friend lost her job. Another was fighting an addiction that seemed so fearfully entwined into her very being. Several loved ones were battling cancer. Thieves had broken into the home and church office of a pastor we know and love while they were at the Sunday service. A couple, who were church leaders, were getting a divorce. A teenager had to make a career choice. The list went on...And then there were all the personal needs... I stared at the paper with a very troubled heart.

In India, when it comes to marriage, people often ask was it a love marriage or an arranged one. One thing is sure, the word association test cannot be applied to define love these days due to its rapidly changing meanings. During my teenage years it was all about romanticism and we talked about falling in love. Then sensuality took over and the phrase making love was in vogue.

Neither do we get married with an idea of dissolving it in few years. Marriages slowly crumble over a period of time due to steady neglect. I have identified ten slow killers of marriages today. Unless we consider our marriages a priority and willing to work on it, we are bound to fall victim to the growing trends of divorce in our society.
