Everyone stands to lose things, important things, when they give up on each other—things they may not ever get back. But of all the things weve done unwell in life and in marriage-and, sadly, there's a big book-length volume of them to choose from the grace of God that's kept us together is the one trophy in this house that means the most to us.

"Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light on my path" (Ps. 119:105). Notice the brilliant metaphor the psalmist uses—"a lamp for my feet." The image he paints is more like a handheld lantern, not the high-intensity spotlight we might wish it was.

The facts are the facts. We get that. The reasons are always around us for making different decisions now than we did then, for putting new conditions on our old vows. But the truth is the truth: We live in an environment that coddles us in our facts and then reasons us into selfishness.

How do we do this? This marriage? This schedule? Even this day? The nonstop challenge of living this complicated life of ours. Both the expected and the unexpected. How do we navigate it? How do we manage it in a way that makes it even remotely manageable?
