Meaningful Monday-- On marriage

Chains do not hold a marriage together.  

It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads 

which sew people together through the years.  

~Simone Signoret

Yesterday Kyle and I attended the beautiful wedding ceremony 

of a dear childhood friend, and I was once again reminded of 

how precious and sacred the act of marriage really is. 

In some respects, marriage is delicate-- 

something to be treasured and handled with gentle care-- 

while in other aspects it is as strong as a rock, 

and can hold people together during the most difficult times. 

Marriage is so dynamic and constantly evolving-- 

yet solid and dependable at the same time.

Amazing. ♥
