Through childs eyes (marriage)

Like in a resent post I have been at STEP Ministries with my “STEP Kid” who recently told me a little more about his home life. Its funny how on one night a week you can discover simple ways to see the world. One of the other kids was talking to us about his parents and how they live in separate houses and my mentie couldn't understand that. It just boggles his mind to think of divorce. Living in the world we do and going to public school its amazing to see a child who doesn't think that its even an option to split up a marriage.
His thought process is that marriage is what you do when you love someone and you don't ever want to be away from them. When asked if sometimes married people argue he said “yes they do but that doesn't mean that they do not love each other”. I'm not sure how his home life is but its pretty cool to see a child untainted by the world of separation.

This all came to mind after time at STEP and reading 1 Peter 3:1-7.
