I would also tell someone (or myself) that nobody wants to go through hell but if you can go through hellish circumstances with the Lord together, that refining fire will strengthen a bond the world cannot understand. The world’s definition of love is so weak compared to ours because we see marriage as a covenant with God and we walk through all circumstances with Him. What a privilege to witness each other changing into new people but together.

Love, love, love all of this! We're celebrating three years in June, and I so wish that these topics had been addressed when I was growing up. I'm thankful for the refining fire our marriage has been (praise God that He uses everything for our benefit, even when it's not what we may have wanted or hoped for), but I also believe we could be in a very different place if we had both been raised with a different foundation for marriage. Can't wait to read along!
