Unlike the courtship which is often grossly unrealistic-everything is more glamorous than real life-marriage and life are reality. We live in an imperfect,broken world. Things happen.
- People get lain off.
-Doctors say, "you have cancer, and we must remove your breast.
-Men are hit by lightning on the golf course or get stuck by a car as they are changing a flat tire on the freeway.
-Automobile accidents leave your face scarred.
-Your health collapses.
-Babies tumble into swimming pools and drown.
-Illness strikes.
-Immigration cancels your visa.
How does the one you are thinking about marrying respond to pressure and stress? Can it be faced? When there is a disagreement, can he or she say, "I really am sorry. Please forgive me. I accept responsibility for what happened"? Or is the person a "no-faulter" the kind that always has to place the blame on someone else(probably you) for what happened?
