We all have an issue with the difference between what we beleive and what we do. Its the nature of our nature.

I just pray for others to walk the walk....and pray for me to do the same.

Michael,

I hope everyone gets to the final paragraphs of your piece. Yes, those of us who are married need to make every effort to keep our marriages strong and to remain faithful, as this is a testament to our belief in God's establishment of it as a representation of His creation. But where we have really failed is in helping each other do this. If the church were truly being the church, it would be a safe harbor for couples whose marriages are being challenged by the pressures of the world. Instead, we hide our deficiencies better in the church than we would in the bar or the office . . . not the best places for finding remedies for the wounds.

If we could only do what we are suppose to do as Christians -- love each other -- imagine the strength we could impart to others who struggles with the same issues we struggle with. We're not immune; we're just afraid to admit our insecurities and limitations. What a pity when we could help each other so much.
