Divorce

I recently found out some good friends are divorcing after only 2 years of marriage. We don't live in the same place as them since we moved in the summer of 2007, so I don't know the whole story yet.

What I do know is that our culture teaches this:
a. FIND the right person.
b. FALL in love.
c. FIX your hopes and
dreams on this person for
your future fulfillment.
d. If FAILURE occurs repeat
steps 1, 2, & 3.

While it should be teaching this:
a. BECOME the right person.
b. WALK in love.
c. FIX your hope on God and
seek to please Him through
this relationship.
d. If FAILURE occurs repeat
steps 1, 2, 3.

This was from a sermon last summer at my church.

I was shocked when I heard the news, and it made me very sad. Then an interesting thing happened. I was angry at my friend for not talking to me about the situation. I thought I should have been someone he could come to for counsel. That is gone now, and I am praying for them
