I spoke with a lady at the CMFN table following a church service tonight and she shared her journey of a struggling start to her marriage .  A couple of weeks after her honeymoon she was diagnosed with a mental illness and that put some serious strain on their marriage.  It had come to the place where he said he couldn’t take it anymore and was going to leave her, but wouldn’t until he knew she would be okay.  She decided there and then she would do three loving things for him intentionally each day.  Her “on purpose” love paid off and he fell in love with her all over again.  17 years later they are trusting God as they continue building a strong healthy marriage.  Not all troubled marriage have sad endings!
