“Marriage is a vocation. It is a task to which you are called. If it is a task, it means you work at it. It is not something which happens. You hear the call, you answer, you accept the task, you enter into it willingly and eagerly, you commit yourself to its disciplines and responsibilities and limitations and privileges and joys. You concentrate on it, giving yourself to it day after day in a lifelong Yes.” --Elisabeth Elliot
As always, she gets right to the point~and right to the heart!
well said elisabeth....and she's right~ when we accept the task & call of God we can be thankful for the grace He gives us to have diciplines, responsibilities, privileges & joys in the gift of marriage.
