When you get a spouse, you get one of life’s greatest gifts- an accountability partner. He isn’t  there to make life heaven or hell-though he may try. But then, he is here to remind you of the things that matter most about being alive; the things you can control, like forgiveness, second chances and love. Love is where hope comes from. Love is good because of the hope that it gives… She isn’t a curse on your life. Rather she is God’s gift of wisdom to help you manage its issues better. So after all has been said, and all has been done, you should one day realize that this man or woman you sometimes did praise or demonize, you both were always one. And that your marriage was a gift – the gift of  an accountability partner.

One thought on “The Gift”

  • Henry Larry

    The narrative beautifully encapsulates the essence of marriage portraying it not as a burden but as a divine endowment a shared responsibility to nurture love forgiveness and resilience. It is a poignant reminder that within the challenges the real gift is the unwavering partnership.
