I believe that what God joined together should be honored.
Sure you have made some mistakes but then pencils have
erasers.
Marriage is truly what you make it, you are your own family.
Hold your heads up high and say to yourself, if God loves me
then I am worthwhile.
I believe in love it is the most beautiful word there is.
We all face trials in a marriage, some more so than others.
When others have closed their minds to you, you keep yours open for these reasons.
One to show that you are made of better stuff, it ticks them off that they can't get you down.
Even when you are, don't let them tell you are less than what you can be.
Starting over is tough but it can be done and I believe that as
long as you are willing, second chances are in the making.
Take time to enjoy yourselves in your new marriage and use that
time to build upon a foundation of love, trust and mutual respect.
It is your marriage, not your parents and I am sure that they too face odds that seemed to spite them.
But you beat the odds and you went ahead and married, that has to say something.
It is funny a thing like a grandchild often softens a hard seemingly hard.
You will know that when you have children that the child is flesh of your flesh and in time your parents will remember that too.
But go on with your love and your lives.
I will be thinking of you and praying for you.

I think we all do face challenges in our marriage so I commend you for getting through the muddle and marrying. All my best to each of you. Countrycousin.

Great advice for anyone, True to the last word, it is sad though some of us, (me included) fail to meet those ends, and yes, I think we all regret it too.

You have written the gospel truth here. No matter what, we must respect the decisions of our children, for they are now adults, too. How on earth could parents be so callous as to ignore a blessed event. Your prose if full of life's lessons learned. The actual marriage is so romantic, but after that, they must learn and grow together.I applaud you and Viyanna for supporting their choice. Wise is the woman, who knows how hard it is in today's world to make ANY marriage last! I found out that if parents stay out of personal issues between the couple, they will always enjoy the seed of their womb!
