Welcome to the forums, Lynette. That's quite an age difference between you and your husband, 44 and 72.
Yes there is quite an age difference. We met at church, and started spending a lot of time together as friends. We did not want to give place to the devil, so we hoped & prayed that getting married would be the right thing to do for us. Later, we realized that just because God sends someone in your life for a season, doesn't mean it's ment to be for a life time. Well, nevertheless, we made a vow, and God said, it's better to have never made one than to break it.
Ecclesiastes 5:5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay After almost 8 years of marriage, we are just beginning to share a real marriage in the Lord and still have a ways to go. Be bless!
