A Joyful Survivor

Theologian and ex-surfer Dave Black, who has been candidly blogging about his wife's battle with cancer, shared this insightful pensée about marriage:

"To the young person who may be reading this blog, I say: your mate will not always be that 25-year old you married. She will change, and so will you. But a funny thing happens on the path to seasoned citizenship – you realize that you have the potential to change into someone even better. Along the way you will meet wives and husbands so content in their relationship with God and with each other that they are able to live happily in circumstances as they are."
