Marriages Don't Always Have to End in Divorce

The news this morning mentioned an ad by divorce lawyers that said, "Life's too short. Get divorced." I guess this reflects today's mentality: if there's a problem, get a divorce rather than work things out. This reminds me of a story a friend told me. He knew this couple where the husband was cheating on his wife. Then the guy developed cancer. Amazingly, his wife took care of him & stayed with him. This made him finally realize how much his wife really loved him. He ended his adulterous affair and reconciled with his wife. This shows that there is hope even for difficult marriages. Since, not everyone has marital problems this grave, wouldn't it be great if couples tried to reconcile rather than give up on the relationship? It won't be easy. But nothing worthwhile, such as a marriage, is ever going to be easy.
