I do not agree with you on the love part. My husband and I were married for 36 years, we got married at the age of 16. Back then everyone we knew said it would not last. Thru hard work and a heck of a lot of love we made it. We had more bad times than any other married couple we knew. I have always been sick i have had lung problems most of my life and been in hospitals more times than I care to remember. In between all that the LORD blessed us with two sons, the bests sons any parent can have. When things were great Ivan was diagnosed with end stage renal disease. That's the time we joined Life-Pointe. A week or so after that he had a kidney transplant, praise GOD it went fantastic. At this time I was already on oxygen 24/7 and getting worse, our love never changed. Last June 1 he passed away froma rare liver cancer, he only lasted a month from start to when JESUS took him home. My love for him is still so strong that can only be matched by my love of our LORD. As for me I'm still hanging to the LORD's hand because my illness does not have a cure. JESUS took him first and i have asked him why so many times, I was the one that was supposed to gone home first. We had a great life together our communication was the best is was like he knew what I was thinking before I said it. My marriage was a GOD thing. I pray for more marriages like mine. So you see to me my mariage was all about the love. Much love and many blessings to you and your family. Ela Ortega Life Pointe Church Hi Nathan,

In between all that the LORD blessed us with two sons, the bests sons any parent can have. When things were great Ivan was diagnosed with end stage renal disease. That’s the time we joined Life-Pointe. A week or so after that he had a kidney transplant, praise GOD it went fantastic.
