Precious

I am doing a Psychology research project on the marriages of Point Loma Nazarene University Alumni. We have gotten some sad responses, yet so many good where God has blessed them. I thought this was an encouraging response from one lady. I love her wisdom and compassion. As much as you hear marriage is so hard etc., this can not help but give you faith. Enjoy her wisdom

"Oh, no discomfort at all from this study. I thought I answered all questions but survey wouldn't let me finish and send it back to you. I would gladly have answered all the questions I just want to add a little more. Jeff and I had a blessed and happy marriage for almost 61 years. We were both virgins when we married and remained faithful to the end. Furthermore, he was my "hunk" (excuse the expression) to the end; and, when I stood looking down at him in the emergency room, he said in his beautiful way: "Who is that gorgeous white-haired woman looking down at me?" We loved people, but we were perfectly content to be together all by ourselves. God blessed us with a beautiful family in which all are believers and everybody loves each other. Three are in the ministry. I would love to pass the message on to the younger generation that a happy, blessed marriage is possible to those who continue to cherish each other and keep Christ as the Head of the household. Blessings on you and those precious students involved in this study. "

Enjoy the presence of those you love today.
