Some people say we won’t make it. There’s 6½ years between us. We live 700 miles apart. We only met on the internet and we haven’t known each other for years.

None of these facts bother me. None of these objections are obstacles in my eyes.

Am I blind? I don’t think so.

The thing is that with man, this is impossible.

Relationships fail everyday. People "fall out of love" and file for divorce. What makes me think that I am so different? That everything will work out for me? Why aren’t these objections warning signs of a doomed marriage?

Because of God. You see, with God, all things are possible.

I’m not expecting to have a successful marriage in my own strength. I don’t see a happy rose colored world without any disagreements. What I do see is that we are two people committed first to God and His glory and then second to each other. God is in our relationship. He is guiding us, helping us and sanctifying us for His purposes. The troubles that we will have we will only get through by God’s power. With Him, it is possible.

Therefore, I do not lose heart. Therefore, I stand strong by faith. And I’ve found the secret to a happy marriage...God.
