“Marriage gives you a hand to hold, Baby Girl.” I may have a different answer for my daughter tomorrow, but for today marriage is a promise of comfort and healing touch, even in seasons when words are painful or silent.
“I know the hands of Jesus, because I’ve been held by your daddy’s,” I said. “I hope this for you too.”
