To The Editor:“Each lives for the other and all live for God.”I don’t remember where this quote came from, but living for each other and living for God can do wonders for a marriage.It was Aug. 7, 1937, that Lady Jewell Scheppmann and David Nowlin Shelton said their vows committing themselves to each other in marriage for life, a marriage that lasted 71 years, eight months, and four days.My mother and father lived at a time when, at least in our area of the world, divorce was seldom heard. In our neighborhood when I was growing up, I don’t remember any couples ever getting a divorce, nor do I remember anyone having been divorced. What a different world today.Since there are no perfect people, there are no perfect marriages. I remember hearing Ravi Zacharias saying that when he was in college a professor made the statement that love is hard. Ravi disagreed and stood up to confront his professor. His professor asked if he was married. Having answered “no,” his professor told him to sit down.Having a good marriage is not easy. We must work hard to achieve that goal.The Bible states that “Three cords cannot be easily broken.” The three cords that help to hold marriage together are husband, wife and Jesus. As a husband and wife draw closer to Jesus, they draw closer to each other.I was so fortunate growing up. There was never a doubt in my mind but that my parents loved each other. In later years, my parents would be in their living room watching television. Dad would blow mother a kiss, which would be returned by her. Before going to sleep, they would tell of their love for each other, a home filled with love.Imagining a home where “each lives for the other and all live for God.” Imagine that home being your home.J.
