I've always said that walking with God through life and through marriage is a long series of choices. The right choice in so many of those intances can be excrutiatingly difficult. For me, through the darkest times, my comfort was that God knew. He knew it all. And He cared. I empathise with 'Our marriage has never been easy.', the different cultures thing and the difficult person to live with thing. My dad actually asked Mark if he was strong enough to handle me when he asked Dad for my hand in marriage. But God put us together. And I would never be able to deny that fact. There will be some truths right at the base of your marriage - where God is - that you'll just keep returning to...hold onto those. Such a wise choice.
