You Saved Me

I recently watched the documentary “You Saved Me”. The documentary chronicles the marriage experience for several black couples. Watching this movie forced to me wonder what did my marriage save me from. If I am honest I have to say my marriage saved me from me. I pass no judgment on the many 30+ black women who are single because I know it could have easily been me. I realize and appreciate the favor the Lord showed me when he allowed two twelve years old to meet up while riding bicycles on a dirt road. My marriage forced me to look at my brokenness which allowed me to get on the path of healing. I couldn’t be in a healthy relationship unless I was healthy myself. When you have a person who accepts you in all your ugliness it encourages you to become the absolute best person you can be. I would like to know what other’s feel their marriage saved them from.
