Most
everyone leaves the safety and security of their parents' home by their late
twenties. Adults of this age are faced with a difficult but common truth. "Life
is not simple, nor completely predictable." Surprisingly, they accept that
the world wasn't created just for their pleasure, yet they can choose to make life
meaningful and purposeful.
Choosing to change is done by making a
transition from a self-sufficiency mind-set to creating a partnership with a
trusted intimate other. It's possible for a couple to have been married five to
ten years, but have yet to establish an intimate
partnership. Many obstacles can stand in the way, including parents, friends, a
career, children, or even the church.
Choosing to change should begin by realizing
that marriage links together two people capable of being best friends and ready
to establish true intimacy. Love, trust, and respect form the foundation for intimacy
that can survive the troubles inherent in every marriage. What seems to be
impossible is possible for God when you, in faith and hope, turn to him for
help.
