Em and I have really enjoyed this music video, especially the last portion where the old, married couples who've gone the distance are dancing. (The fruit and joys of covenant commitment!) It's called Dancing in the Minefields by Andrew Peterson. I love it's biblical realism. We live in a fallen, broken world, and we suffer from indwelling sin. But it also seems a bit more pessimistic than is warranted by the Gospel and Scripture regarding sanctification possibilities, not least in a marriage.
Em and I have been married almost three years now, and we wouldn't say that our marriage is a minefield. We wouldn't quite put it that way. The Word and Wisdom of God have kept us from the explosive folly of our own ways. (Mind you, the Lord has not given us children yet.) But each realizes that the other is a sinner in need of a Savior. And with the Savior directing us in grace, we dance. Oh how we're dancing together to the tune of the free grace of God. Blessed be his great name!
