Bob is So Bob

What made me think I should get married again? Obviously there are times in our lives that go under my favorite heading - "It Seemed Like A Good Idea At the Time." And, with all my Christian upbring and training, living together didn't seem to be an option. But marriage?

I think there should be an alternative option to the two obvious ones, which are:

Living Together

Marriage

Could there possibly be an arrangement where you could live together, in the same place, with all the "options" except the bedroom part, and learn about each other BEFORE the wedding. Is this possible?

This man I've married is an enigma to me. He is different from anyone I've ever known. He likes things that are foreign to me. He has memories that I haven't even read about. He knows things I don't know. He's exerienced so much. Why does that bother me?

Probably the most enlightening thing to me is that there must be so many people, just like Bob, who know absolutely NOTHING about the love and mercy of God; Who have never experienced the cleansing forgiveness of a power so great that can reach down just to lift me up; who loves me unconditionally; who knows me and still loves me, and best of all, sent His only Son, whom He loved, to die JUST FOR ME.

I am such a poor example of what I should be.
