I chose this chapter because every girl wants their own "happily ever after." We deserve to know what that should be like. Most people these days are divorced, but I don't really look at that. I look at all the old married couples you see walking down the street. Yes -- all marriages have their hard times, but when you make the commitment to live the rest of your life with this person, you must hold fast and true.
I know this is totes cliché, but where's my "one person." You know, that person who you're supposed to spend the rest of your life with? That person might be on the other side of the world, but if they're your "one" then you'll meet them. At least, that's what I think.
Albom learned to hold on. I believe he and his wife had become kind of distant, and he was (subconsciously) wondering if he should stay. Dude, you should have married her, like, on your second year of courtship! Maybe he's just one of those really weird people.
I believe there's a difference between holding on and hanging on. Holding on means that there's someone who has your arm; hanging on means you're still waiting for your rescue. I believe that good things come to those who wait. Who are patient. Who are kind. I believe these things are good and we should strive to be like these things. Hebrews 13:4 says, "Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage be kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral."
