The Basic Truth
Marriage was like a coat worn inside out. It fit but it just didn’t feel right. From the beginning, you ordained that I would not be alone but I have come a long way since Eden. The wound of my missing rib had long been covered with a callous scab. I thought you were a cruel trickster to bring me someone I so desired knowing she could never breach my strongholds so long as I held strong to my carnality. My home was a carnival funhouse of distorted images of myself as a man, a husband, and a father.
Ashamed, I lashed out at the mirrors; verbal stones hurling with the power of life and death only to wound the ones I love, perhaps forever. At last, I came excruciatingly, inexorably, brokenly, to the end of myself. There I fell exhausted into your waiting arms and you wept over your prodigal son.
To you lord, who is always faithful, all goodness, all powerful and merciful, I may submit with time. Don’t ask the same toward my wife, who is fallible, lives life within the boundaries of her fears, judges discriminately, and loves conditionally. Should I give up the very freedom bequeathed me in Christ Jesus?
Then from my Pastor’s mouth, you spoke these words, “There is no freedom without choice.” My choices were, submit to the covenant I entered with you or go my own way and remain in bondage to sin. Freedom through submission, the very paradox makes my mind spin. Though I will not pretend to understand your grand plan, it is enough that I walk by faith on the road of matrimony.
