Marriage Story

Netflix recently released a movie called Marriage Story. It reminded me so much of a movie that came out in 1979 called Kramer vs Kramer. Some of y’all are too young to know this great Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep movie. This movie details the life of a couples marriage, family, and ultimately divorce. It’s a story about two people who really love and care for one another but got lost along the way. This couple faced infidelity, loneliness, and bitterness. These are all things we see everyday in counseling and coaching. The sad part is is that people believe the lie. They believe the lie that what they’re going through can’t be saved or fixed. Unfortunately we have become a society that craves and thrives on disposable, so why not marriage? When it gets hard, when I don’t love them anymore, when you no longer find them attractive, when we say this can’t be fixed, when you cheat and justify it. We would never say it at the alter but somewhere along the way we start to believe that marriage can be disposable. So what’s your marriage story going to be? Is it one where you go through the darkest of times and come through stronger? There's a legacy you will leave your kids. What will be said about your marriage story?
