A friend of mine was beside herself when her 21-year old Christian daughter announced she was engaged. I know the feeling. I went into panic when my own daughter said she was planning to marry the boy she was dating.
Now, that same young girl is battling an on-and-off again relationship with the man she married. I can relate to what she might be thinking, feeling, dealing with. I was there too as a young twenty-something-year old Christian married woman whose husband wanted her in his life but didn't want to be married.
This young woman was on my mind when I wrote my memoir, No More Games, When Christian Faith and Marriage Collide: a Memoir.
I suppose I shouldn't presume I know what she's dealing with. Her situation may be similar to what I went through in part, or it may be completely different. Nevertheless, it's time we talk about the deep pain some of us face as innocent young girls marrying the wrong man. The dissolution of a marriage is seldom easy, but sometimes, ultimately necessary.
