Man and Woman, pt. 2

The divorce rate in the United States is at approximately 50%. I come from a family who has been divorced. Yet, I am very much in love with my wife (call me a romantic). So through rough times and good, we have made a commitment to stay married. Don't get me wrong, it hasn't been easy.

We got our wedding rings weeks after we actually got married.  Within weeks, we had an argument and I ready to get divorced.  We were in a grocery store parking lot. I pulled off my ring and threw it to the ground. I heard it bounce as I stormed home. My loving wife, in an amazing moment of humbleness, searched for and found my ring, then followed me quietly home. I think her humble attitude and quietness shocked me and made me realize that she was wanting to stay together as a married couple.
