How do you know when you're sick? According to Webster's, you're officially ill when your body reaches 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit. Well, if a healthy body temperature is 98.6 degrees, then less than a mere 2 degrees separates us between health and illness. We are very fragile beings!
But it is not just our body that is fragile, it is also our heart. Our feelings are hurt easily and our relationships are impacted as a result. As fragile, sensitive beings we have to treat our relationships gently.
While marriage is highly durable, it is also extremely fragile. In fact, we contend a relationship is like a beautiful piece of heirloom china. If properly handled, it will last for a lifetime; however, when it is mishandled it can be chipped or broken. While we can sometimes glue the pieces back together, the line of the crack will always be a reminder that the plate is forever different. Consider this: if we can use caution and respect when we use the good china, then we can do the same with our valued relationships. Use extra care when handling your relationships, and they, too, will last a lifetime.
