You are truly very lucky to have such a supportive wife. This is a great example that the commitment to marriage is stronger than religion.

I think I appreciate how lucky I am, though I’m probably twice as fortunate as I think I am. I hope that most people would prefer to stay with their spouse rather than creating a broken home, if they can both give respect to each other and their (ir)religious choices.

I realize that some people will object to the term “broken home” when I talk about divorce. While divorce is preferable in some situations, I see the damage it generally does. My ideal is to have all children born to lifelong loving partnerships. I’m not saying that other situations are “wrong” or somehow less worthy. I am saying that they are generally less than optimal for nurturing healthy human beings.

In any case, that’s not what I want for my wife or our children, and I’m willing to work hard at seeing that it doesn’t happen.
