Dare 31

Love & Marriage

This dare is about leaving your parents’ home to go into your marriage home.  It talks about severing the apron strings so even though you still respect your parents opinion they can no longer tell you what to do.

I never had a problem ‘cutting the apron stings’ as they say.  They were cut a long time ago – I was sent off to boarding school when I was 12 years old, and though my parents still told me what to do I had to learn to stand on my own 2 feet.

Looking back on my failed marriage I can see how my husband’s parents were much more in the picture than my parents were because they lived in the same town.  But they never told us what to do.  Our parents had nothing to do with why the marriage didn’t work, but that’s a topic for another day ;)

I understand what this dare is about and in the future when I’m in another marriage I have a better understanding of God’s blueprint of how a marriage is supposed to work.

Until next time…
