Early in our marriage we had been heading down separate paths. Not with premeditation or malice. Just with busyness. Everyday activity that kept us both engaged, but not with each other.
I still remember one day having one of those discussions married couples have. More like a debate – or should we say an outright verbal fight. Both of us recognized, after a few minutes, that we were on the same page, just coloring with different crayons.
So, we took a scrap piece of paper. One of those sheets that are part of everyday life. And we scrawled on it – “We will work together” (or some close paraphrase to that). Then I placed it with a magnet on our file cabinet (which I am currently sitting beside).
Although the memory may have faded over the years, the idea has not. Jill and I work together in partnership – and love it. We know that we must if we are to live successfully together!
God helping we will continue on – for more years to come.
