The single reason we were able to save our marriage, is the ever-present third strand in the cord of our relationship–Jesus Christ.

Jesus tells us, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30)

That day in our pastor’s living room, I embraced those words. I was the weariest I had ever been from trying to carry the heaviest burden I had ever shouldered. I found rest. Everything wasn’t suddenly better, but as I aligned myself with Christ over the following days and weeks, the load became bearable and my soul continually found just enough rest to continue pushing forward.
