I am over 50 years of age and I am a happily married female. This is my second marriage and one that God provided after my first husband left me in my 27th year of marriage with him. He left me for a short term (several years) relationship with a younger woman. My Lord was my anchor during my grief and pain and he also led me and my current husband to each other. While each of us has an adult child, we have no grandchildren. No marriage is without problems. Still, while the problems will come we feel it is important for couples, in particularly young couples to be sure to spend time with each other in a date type of situation. So for those of us who have learned from our mistakes I would like to recommend that if you can to mentor a marriage. Take on at least one young couple to sit with the kids at their own home as often as they need you, preferably monthly minimum. Give the young couple a child care cost free way to get out together for a movie, dinner, picnic or just to be alone together somewhere away from pressures of the home environment to relax and talk. For us, it is a double blessing to spend time with the youngsters and eat, play and read with the children while we develop a trusting adult/child relationship that we enjoy so much. At the same time, the young couple reconnects in the way they did before they had the pressures and responsibilities of a family and relax and enjoy themselves in the same ways they did when they were falling in love. It is truly a win…win situation. My recommendation I call Mentor a Young Couple is to sit with the children regularly at no cost so that they can have that special time together. May the Lord Bless you in ways you can not imagine as he as for our marriage.
