I have been thinking recently why are people attracted to each other? I am not sure.
Take me, a thousand women could walk by and then that one might get me to turn my head. I married my wife for many reasons, she is beautiful inside and out. She is smart, nice, compassionate, passionate, helpful, loving, caring, friendly, and many other positive traits, but what was the first thing I noticed, her external beauty.
So why her when I had dated so many others and thought to myself one day maybe? I have no freaking idea. Why do I continue to love her and stay married despite the times when it makes me wonder? I have no idea.
Sure it could be God’s intervention or that we are both Christian, but is that all there is. I know part of it is the way I was raised. You get married, it is for life, but with divorce a major part of our society these days it seems like it would be easier at times.
As a person who travels a lot, I could have easily cheated and the wife would have never known. So why didn’t I? Let’s be honest how many attractive females are there out there and especially when you are so far away from home.
My only conclusion is that God wanted us together. It does not mean that my wife was God’s first choice for me, but with me screwing up so many relationships, He had to put me with someone who is far stronger than I and can subtly show me the error in my ways. The flip side of that is I also think the Devil is trying to get me to cheat. If He can do that, then he just might be able to claim victory.
I pray that you find that person that God has already picked out for you and the two of you are able to make if through the tough times. I pray that you will put God first in your life, because by doing this one simple act, it can make your marriage stronger. In Jesus name I pray, Amen!
