Transcript
Our state has such great agriculture - apples and cherries, corn and onions - and it takes hard work, time, and the farmer’s patience and care to reap those different fruits and vegetables. From the springtime of planting to the eventual reaping in a totally different season, we see the law of the harvest illustrated. This is so encouraging for today's couples going through a tough season where the emotions aren’t good and the challenges are high. But there’s ample evidence from thousands of examples and in documented social research that couples that persevere through the hard times are able to enjoy not only a lasting marriage, but a satisfying marriage in the future seasons for years to come. Research has shown that nearly 80 percent of unhappy marriages that stick it out five years come around to being marriages of happiness. Remember and remind others of the law of the harvest. Sowing the seeds of commitment and forgiveness and working on a relationship will yield fruit in the future.
