Hebrews 13:4-5

Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge. Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you." Hebrews 13:4-5

It breaks my heart to hear that a married couple is separating or going through a divorce. I know there a many variables and problems in marriages that run deeper than just "not being content." But many times, discontentment in a marriage is where it all begins. It's like a small thread which, as it gets pulled and tugged on, causes a whole sweater (marriage) to completely unravel.
To keep the grass just as green on my side of the fence requires care: watering, feeding, pulling out weeds, and getting rid of pests and varmints. It is work. Hard work. But isn't it a comfort that God will always be there with us to do that work?
