My 109

 "What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder" - Mark 10:9 (KJV)

Love can still be sacred in a world that changes so quickly. 

In today's world, relationships are often treated lightly. People leave when things become difficult. Love becomes conditional. Commitment becomes fragile. Yet this scripture reminds me that real love is not built only during easy seasons. It is tested during misunderstandings, silence, sacrifice, waiting, and pain. Unity requires patience, humility, forgiveness, and grace.

My husband is my 109.

Not because our marriage is perfect. Not because we never disagree or become tired from life's heavy seasons. But because every single day, we choose each other again.

And perhaps that is what real love truly is. Two imperfect people learning how to remain gentle with one another despite the chaos of life.

Marriage is beautiful when both people protect it quietly behind closed doors. When they choose understanding instead of harsh words. When they forgive even while hurting. When they remain loyal not only during abundance, but also during silent battles nobody else sees.

Mark 10:9 carries a deeper emotional truth that many people forget today: love is not merely a feeling. It's a responsibility. A commitment. It's patience during misunderstandings, softness during anger, and faithfulness during uncertain seasons.

The real unity is not tested during happy moments, but during exhaustion, sacrifice, waiting, distance, disappointment, and of course, PAIN. But despite all these things, choosing to stay kind to one another becomes one of the purest forms of love.

Also, this verse should never be used to trap someone in abuse or fear. God values peace, dignity and safety too. The heart of this scripture is about honoring genuine covenant and protecting what is pure, respectful, and God-centered.

But sometimes, the saddest thing is not when two people apart. The saddest thing is watching something once beautiful slowly break because people stopped protecting it. 

Love does not usually disappear in one day. It fades in neglected conversations. In pride left unresolved. In affection no longer expressed. And in kindness slowly forgotten.

That is why protecting your marriage matters.

Because in a world where many things fall apart so easily, there is still something incredibly beautiful about two people who continue choosing each other over and over again. 

And as long as God remains at the centre of your relationship, nothing else matters. God believes in things worth keeping together.

I truly hope you find your 109. 💖💛
