Marriage is a constant give and take.
It takes two people, lots of love and patience, and belief that that's really what you both want. Reprinted with permission from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Stanley, a former president of the Southern Baptist Convention and whose In Touch television ministry spans the globe, stunned his congregation Sunday by telling them he and his wife, Anna, are divorced. The congregation stood and applauded. Stanley's estrangement from his wife caused strife in the church in the mid-1990s because of a traditional but unwritten policy that First Baptist does not allow divorced men to serve as deacons or ministers.
