If I am blessed with Motherhood, I ask the additional grace of patience and good example. May our family be modeled upon the Holy Family. Amen. These aren’t hard rules, but even I – upon reading them that day in the gift shop – knew there were some I was not necessarily rising to meet. If I want a good marriage, and my husband is doing his part, then I have to do mine. These ten rules were a good place to start. Now they aren’t a magic pill that is going to magically fix everything, but when a hard year happens, I feel better equipped to persevere. When I started really thinking about what God has to say about marriage (and my responsibilities toward the longevity of mine) is when I realized these rules would help me be better equipped to handle the tough times. Last year was a hard year in my marriage. That’s kind of like saying the Hindenburg was “a little mishap”. As my mother once told me, “Hard years happen”. Of course, when she told me that I was single and thought “How can you have a hard year? That seems like such a long period of time to feel things aren’t going easily. Now that I’ve been married to my husband since 1999, I totally get it now, Mom. Totally get it. During that hard year, I found myself wondering, “What happened to our love story?” But in all honestly, as in most marriages, it takes two people and a good 50% of why I was unhappy was because of me. It’s a year later and I still remind myself often that while my husband is responsible for his actions and his character, I am the one ultimately responsible for my happiness by deciding each day whether I am going to be grateful (or not), pleasant (or not), motivated (or not), loving (or not), easy going (or not). So many couples want an easy path. So many couples I know have divorced in the past few years, because the path was not easy. My kids love watching “The Prince of Egypt “. They watched it again this week and even watching that animated movie begs the question, “Why do we as Christians expect an easy path?” When I think about how people were treated for their faith in the time of Moses, it seems like what God requires of us today, of me, is frankly, quite do-able. This also came up in a previous Roman History class I took. We were required to view and discuss Quo Vadis. This film (we watched the 1951 version), based on the novel, discusses Marcus Vinicius’ journey to Christianity. It discusses the Romans’ distrust and persecution of Christians, the violent ends that came to some of the apostles…
