Marriage is a thousand little things. It’s giving up your
right to be right in the heat of an argument. It’s forgiving another when they
let you down. It’s loving someone enough to step down so they can shine. It’s
friendship. It’s being a cheerleader and trusted confidant. It’s a place of forgiveness that
welcomes one home, and arms they can run to in the midst of a storm. It’s
grace. It’s giving of yourself tirelessly down paths you’d never imagine to
travel. Through sickness and pain, poverty and loss, it’s carrying the weight
of another. It’s being the smile they see in the morning, and the body they
hold close at night. It’s pure love. It’s standing together in the face of
adversity. It’s riding alongside each other in a battle that threatens to tear down your marriage and
seeks to grab hold of your faith. It's strength under pressure. It's endless
compassion. It's love. - Darlene Schacht
