Excerpts from Marriage Makers

Marriage Makers

I hear this kind of statement all the time. “Well, I have been married so long. We have been married almost thirty years, now who needs marriage input?” The greatest increase of the divorce rate is in couples married thirty plus years. It is a full 10% increase right now. That is where the biggest jump, statistically, is. Why? We are dealing with the whole “empty nest syndrome.” Careers are winding down, your children are getting grown, and suddenly you look at each other and see a stranger.

We knew this boy. He had a Sunday School teacher for years whom he had looked up to as his mentor. One day this teacher came into class and just announced, “Well, I have been married thirty years. I don’t really see much point of going on with my wife anymore. We are just strangers. So I have decided to leave her.” Saying that was easy for him, but for that boy he went home devastated.
