A few weeks ago Shannon mentioned the high numbers of divorces around the world. (She even included a colourful map - I'm such a cartophile...) She wisely noted that dedication is probably the key for a happy marriage, if you are prepared to be in for the long haul from the start then you're more likely to work through the hard times rather than cut and run.
Along such lines, watch the above video entitled "What is love?". It shows the love of a man (Bill) for his wife of 50 years (Glad) who has advanced alzeihmer's disease. God forbid that anything should happen to her, but I hope that I will be able to serve my wife with the love, cheerfulness and dedication that Bill demonstrates in this video. If love is willing the good of another then Bill is a great exemplar of love. It is a great antitode to today's "me-first-and-foremost" mentality and culture. It is also the (hard) answer to today's high divorce rates. Perhaps with a few more Bills in the world that map in Shannon's post will become less red...just something to think about this Advent.
