Some years ago a football player and his co-ed bride married in the college chapel. They had asked permission to re-write some of the wedding ceremony.
At the conclusion of the actual wedding vows, the young football star pledged: “Nancy, I promise you that I will not punt on fourth and ten, even with my back against the goal line."
What a commitment! Any football player knows that when your back is against the goal line, and it’s fourth down and ten yards to go for a first down, you punt. You get out of the situation the best way you can.
That pledge should be written into every wedding ceremony. It should become a part of the marriage vows.
It speaks volumes! It says that nothing in life will cause a couple to "give up the ball. " It says that they have taken the "ball of marriage" seriously and will together find ways and means to work out of any crisis that comes down the field.
Such a commitment enables a couple to search for solutions, knowing that happiness lies not only on the other side of struggle, but precisely "in the struggle."
