Conviction eliminates options, says Andy Stanley. What does that mean in marriage?
If you had a conviction (firmly held belief or opinion) that you were marrying the right person when you said, “I do,” does that mean you were wrong then or are you wrong now [since situations, finances, and emotions have changed]?
I can’t answer for you, but according to the way I was raised, a promise (covenant) means something. Cetelia, I was convicted that you were the right person then, and will frame my thoughts so that you’ll continue to be the right person in the future – in spite of changing situations, finances, and emotions.
