"But those who marry will face many troubles in this life."
-- 1 Corinthians 7 : 28
During the last days of the twentieth century, some venture capitaists (VCs) went to great lengths to make themselves available to would be entreprenuers. They gave lectures at entrepreneurial conferences. They drank beers at Resto bar pub, and they told elaborate stories to explain why their. Particular firm was better than the rest. On their home, at the other night She fell into bed with miserable cold. Mind you, She isn't able to blow her nose because she can't use her hands, and She can't really cough because She have no chest muscle. She knew was going to face rough nigth. But not as rough as Ken.
She woke up at 3:00AM and groaned, "Ken, please get up. Help me sit up so I can cough." The poor guy threw back the covers, stumbled out of bed, and sat me up to pound on my back. He held a tissue to my nose as I coughed and sputtered.
An hour -and-a-half later, we repeated the routine. We were both dead tired and spmewhere in between him swueezing my ribs and reaching for another tissue he moaned, "did our wedfing vows include this stuff?"
I sniff and reminded him, "Remember that part about 'for better or for worse? Welk, this is the worst part. And remember when we said we'd love each other through thick and thin?"
"I know, I know," Ken sighed. "Yhis is thin part."
Every couple agrees thag marriage has its ups and downs. The up times are when love is as plain as day and fully visible. The down times are when love goes undercover and incognito. So commonplace are the ups and downs that one wonders why they aren't written into the wedding vows. But they are. When a husband and wife vow to love for better or for worse, it includes the full extent of the ups and downs.
Marriage will akways ask you to prove love. To be married is
Not to be taken off the front lines of love but to be plunged
Into the thick and thin of the ups and downs. Know your pips.
May my love, Lord, always cover a multititude of troubles.
