Marriage is a covenant. For Lainey and I we understand that this means we are Married for Life. Our understanding of covenant is the thing that provokes us to get past temporary hurts, disappointments, mis-understandings instead of giving in and giving up on each other. Knowing our marriage is a covenant gives us security that we will always be together “... for richer or poorer, in sickness or in health, until death us do part” were the words we used ... and we still mean them. When we get upset with each other our covenant causes us to work through the issues instead of packing our bags and moving on to a different relationship. Our children are secure also knowing that they will always have a father and a mother and a place to call home ... they have enough worries with friends, school, their image, their future.

... she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant. Malachi 2:14 (Second part)

7 ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, 8 and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”  Mark 10
