Brangelina now Brad and Angelina.


We may or may not have been surprised by yesterday's announcement that the premier, power-couple from Hollywood, Brad Pitt and Angeline Jolie, have called it quits.
They had been married for two years and together for fifteen with a family of six kids, four of whom were adopted.
It is always a sad moment when any couple, married for however long, break-up and go their different ways.
It is of little surprise when they are listed among the beautiful people of Hollywood.
However, there is a brighter side to the gloomy track record of Tinsel Town marriages.
Let me list one or two:
Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne married for 34 years.( Ozzy is the guy who bit heads off bats!)
Meryl Streep and Don Gummer. Married for 38 years.
Kurt Russel and Goldie Hawn. Married for 38 years.
Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson: Married for thirty years.
There are many more.
What is the secret of the longevity of their unions?
Why, the same as any of us lesser mortals who get married and stay married.
Try this simple formula.
Keep your marriage vows. Love each other as you said you would when you were standing at the altar. Be ready to ask for forgiveness more than once in twenty years. Never forget  your wife's birthday!
Love her more than you love the kids and vice versa.
Finally, build  the house of your faith and your future on something bigger than yourselves.. namely THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
It has worked for Pauline and me for 48 years. It will work for you as well.

Jubilate.

Ian
