Last week Susan and Sal were married in a twin engine Cessna 301 with a wing and a prayer at an altitude of 800 meters. I don’t know about the wing, but I know about the prayer.

To avoid a crash landing, pray with your companion, don’t prey on your companion. Speak love and show love, don’t badger and look daggers. Bear and forbear, don’t grudge and begrudge. Give and forgive, don’t holler and hit back. Put God first, your spouse second, and yourself last.

Practice these things, and you’ll make your marriage divorceproof.
