As a fellow Christian I completely agree with you. I was only 18 years old when I married my husband. He was 27 and when he proposed to me he warned me that he would probably die before me. I was so in love with him that I didn’t let that stop me from marrying him. We had four children (two boys, two girls) and were still together until he passed away 54 years later. Shortly after our marriage we were invited by some friends to visit their church. We had moved into our first bought house in a different neighborhood so we went one Sunday. We loved it, so we started attending every Sunday and ended up being baptized there, and later on all four of our kids were baptized there. Our oldest daughter is a singer and piano player who still does concerts at churches. Before she married she was playing and singing on minister Charles Stanley’s ship trips for six years.
