Marriage is beautiful, fulfilling and difficult.
After 35 years and three months of marriage, and 11,000 hours of pastoral counseling, I have learned twenty things about good and bad marriages. The husband and wife take each other and forsake all others. Marriage is not just an arrangement to clarify inheritance. It has been called a dramatic act in which two strangers come together to redefine themselves. Some couples like their wedding service to be traditional, others 'freer'.
