Your Question:
Can I really survive on my own after 40 years of marriage?
Answer:
I've been married to Susan for 19 years now, and I can confidently say that I've grown and learned so much about myself and about marriage. When I read about people struggling to survive on their own after 40 years of marriage, I have to say that I'm a bit puzzled. For me, the key to a successful marriage is not just about surviving, but about thriving together. As a pastor, I've seen many couples struggle with the idea of giving up on their marriage. But I believe that perseverance is key. With God's help, even the toughest challenges can be overcome. And I think that's what Susan and I have done. We've had our ups and downs, but we've always made a commitment to work through our issues together. And it's not just about us - our marriage has become a sanctuary for our children, Joshua and Rebecca, and a source of strength for our community. I think the idea that you can survive on your own after 40 years of marriage is a bit of a myth. Marriage is a partnership, and it takes two people working together to make it succeed. Of course, there may be times when one person feels like they're carrying the load, but that's where communication and compromise come in. For Susan and me, it's not about who's right or wrong - it's about working together to build a stronger, more loving marriage. And that's a journey that I'm grateful to be on.
