Marriage 2.

There is a  tightrope to be walked of protecting your spouse from the world, while still exposing the dangers of your own collective hearts.  In the Power of Christ we can overcome our desire to keep each other comfortable and instead plunge in to the dark places in order to shed light.  We willingly dig up the mess knowing we can't clean it up ourselves.  This is dependency, this is a marriage surrendered to Jesus.  Broken and beautiful, his power made perfect in our weakness.  It may not sound appealing, but it is a glorious thing to be a part of, to be witness to watching Christ pull the person you cherish and love up and to himself.
