I agree with Clem55. My husband and I were married 40 years when he went to live with our Lord. Our marriage wasn't without its ups and downs which were many. I, too, wanted my children to live in a home with both a mother and father and at times it was really hard. All of my four children have been divorced, so I don't know if we taught them anything about give and forgive at all. I just hope the grandchildren will have learned something from us. I know one grandson said he wanted to pattern his life like his grandfather. That was so nice because he was a very good man.
