God Put Me By Your Side So That You Don't Have to Stand Up to Hard Things Alone.
Who started the rumor that men have to carry burdens alone, that they must be the strong, silent type, going through life with their jawas clenched like Gary Cooper in High Noon? Whoever it was, he was wrong. If man was meant to struggle alone, I'm sure there would have been no Eve for Adam. Sorrow is unavoidable, and trouble is part of the package here on earth. But pain can be lifted and troubles more easily overcome by two. Please don't feel that you must keep your concerns bottled up or carry heavy responsibilities single-handed. I'm happy to be your sounding board. I'm your wife, for better or for worse, and I'll be by your side to help in good times and in bad.
'Shared joy is double joy, and shared sorrow is half-sorrow.' ~Swedish Proverb
By helping each other with your troubles, you truly obey the law of Christ. Galations 6:2
