Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their hard work.—Eccl. 4:9.

 

Aquila and Priscilla had to leave familiar surroundings, set up a new home, and establish their tentmaking business in a new location. In their new home in Corinth, Aquila and Priscilla got involved with the local congregation and worked along with the apostle Paul to strengthen the brothers there. Later, they moved to other towns where there was a greater need for preachers. (Acts 18:18-21; Rom. 16:3-5) What a rich and rewarding life they must have enjoyed together! Modern-day couples can imitate Priscilla and Aquila by putting Kingdom interests first. The best time for a couple to talk about their goals in life is while they are courting. When a couple make decisions together and strive to reach common spiritual goals, they have more opportunities to see Jehovah’s spirit at work in their life.—Eccl. 4:12. w21.11 17 ¶11-12

Hindsight is 20/20 as the saying goes. I wish I would have known the truth from birth. But the n again, accepting it would have been the key. There is no do overs in this life,  but I do have the chance to pick up and  start over. From here. From this point forward.  Thing is, I loved being married and imagined all the different ways Rick would learn the truth. But sadly, none of those occurred.  Or maybe,  not so sadly but what feels miraculously,  I have been presented with a new way he could still have the chance to learn and accept Jehovahs ways. These ways are far superior to any other ways. So, maybe, just maybe,  this new opportunity to learn will work. I'll need all of your help.
