The Challenges and the Hope In a Long Marriage

MARATHONS are excruciating affairs of endurance... The athlete is inspired to register their entry, they do so, and then they devote many hours in the preparation. They prepare mentally, physically, emotionally, and maybe even spiritually. Their wellbeing is under constant surveillance, for the journey is too long to allow a single compromise. Their diet is strictly controlled and days out from the event there is the careful portioning of protein and carbohydrate - not to mention the supplements they choose to take as extra insurance. There is, perhaps, a difficulty in sleeping as race time draws near, and fatigue may be the unwanted nemesis. With the starting line in view, and the starter's gun fired, she is off! The race has begun. Marriage is no race, but for reaching the finishing line - "til death do us part" - intact.
