I was really excited to sit with Bruce to dig deeper into this ground of wisdom, 33 years guys, let that sink in. Bruce has been married for as long as I've been alive. Most of us hit the first fight in the first year of marriage and our minds are flooded with doubts that we will never make it past 5 years. This conversation served as a crucial pitstop in my marriage journey, to sit with an older husband who is so real and open encouraged me a lot!

Today's episode is special because it features my wife Lilly Million. Marriage forces us as husbands particularly to dig deep, cause our own reserves will run dry and very quick at that, so without God and his infinite reserves I don't think I would make it to the next 10 years. I've been stretched in the past 10 years, but I see how it had to be through marriage that the character traits and qualities I've developed had to come.

Being a child of divorce myself, I know very well the devastation that comes with experiencing this kind of loss. There are key points in the conversation that really highlight, the importance of getting into marriage soberly, knowing the kind of attack this institution is under will force us to move with that awareness to fight our own inclinations, desires, that might lead to us opening the door for the disaster to creep in and crumble what we are building.

Persevering in marriage has gotten such bad PR that it is crazy that we would even dare utter that above statement. Think about it, whose surname does the wife and the kids take, who is meant to be the culture shaper, visionary, and spiritual leader of this family - The Husband. So perseverance is meant to be primarily modelled by the husband, his wife and children are to take cues of ukubekezela from him.
