The hardest decision I ever had to make was deciding whether to stay in my marriage or divorce. After many years of problems, we had come to a fork in the road. It was either get a divorce after 30 years or give each other another chance. It was something I had to think hard and long on. I was finished fighting for a marriage that neither of us wanted. I was tired of the heartbreak of broken promises, and crying myself to sleep every night.
Every hard decision we have to make requires a strong will. Making difficult choices demands significant inner strength, resolve, and perseverance. The most challenging paths in life, whether personal, ethical, or professional are only navigable when we have the fortitude to make tough choices and stick with them, even in the face of adversity.
In the end we decided to forgive each other and move on. Since that time our marriage has gotten much stronger, and our love deeper than I could ever imagine.
Marriage is built om effort, compromise, and mutual support. It is said that a happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers.
