Years ago (after Melissa and I were married), my sisters warned her about me: "He's pushy, spoiled and the baby of our family."
My sisters spent much of of their formative years teaching me.
Their spoiled, little, obstinate brother had a long way to go.
But my wife has proven faithful to the task of helping me grow and develop.
Her grit has been tangible and effective.
Gritty people are tenacious and courageous.
They persevere, endure, and are determined.
And they show fortitude and are hardy.
Gritty persons have high morals and strong character.
Grit is often the separator between a mere convenient marriage, and a covenant marriage (where promises are made to community, each other, parents, posterity and even with God.)
Marrieds who happily live ever after, use grit to last.
Gritty marrieds cling to commitments; not convenience.
What will you do when your marriage gets hard? Will you be gritty enough?
