Is your marriage particularly difficult?

Pastor's wife Holly Elif has seen it all.

My husband and I began meeting with a couple whose marriage was in real crisis,

and the husband had been unfaithful.

The wife had every reason, by the world's standards, to call that marriage quits.

And she made a very unusual choice.

We'll find out what that choice was today.

Often we receive emails from listeners with difficult marriage situations.

And let me just interject, if you identify with today's program and want to let us know, go to revive our hearts.com to send us an email. But recently, Nancy and her friend Holly Ellif met with a group

of wives at a church in Little Rock, Arkansas. They discussed some of the ends and outs of staying

married, even when it's tough. Here's Nancy. I'm watching now some couples.

This is really a sweet thing. I have some friends who are elderly now and in their very sunset

years of life, 50, 60 years of marriage. And any couple who's been married that long would tell you there have been some very hard times,

times that would have made a lot of other couples give up on the marriage.

These are couples who stayed with it, stayed with each other, kept bringing the Lord into that

relationship.

And now they are experiencing a sweetness and a richness and a joy in their marriage that is

greater than anything they've experienced in previous years.

I remember hearing one of these wives who has had a good marriage but not a deeply

satisfying marriage.
