There is something undeniably attractive about youth. Remember those days? Carefree evenings full of laughter, a complete lack of fear, the allure of romance and lovemaking, resilience in the face of difficulties, and the excitement of having your whole future in front of you? Who wrote the law that says that those attitudes must stop at middle age? Who says marriage has to lose it youthful zest, joy and vitality? I am not in denial about our bodies – they will grow older. But what I want to influence is our perspective, our thinking, our attitude. Life, married life, is not something to be endured or survived but lived!
Henry David Thoreau also put it well: “None are so old as those who have outlived their enthusiasm.” What is true of age is true in marriage. You may be just a few miles down the road in your marital journey or you may be looking in the rearview mirror over many decades of married life. This morning I would challenge all of us to examine our attitudes about aging particularly as it relates to marriage and family.
