Urgent comes alongside indigenous believers in some of the hardest to reach places on earth. There, we seek to make disciples, multiply churches and provide humanitarian relief in ways that are biblically faithful and practically effective.
And God, if You so lead any one of us who would be single now into marriage. We pray for this kind of marriage in the future. We pray all of this knowing that there is such a skewed picture of marriage in the world around us today. Sadly many times in the church. In ways that skew the love of Christ for the church and the church for Christ. We pray ultimately that the gospel would be clear. In the way we love and enjoy one another in marriage between a husband and a wife.
Andy, now 66, was a university professor and I was a head teacher. We first met through an online discussion board on the subject of education. Soon, we discovered we had the same perspectives and, just as importantly, the same sense of humour. When we spoke for the first time on the phone, I adored his voice. Over time, the professional became personal. We were developing feelings for each other, and we agreed to meet.
I felt an overwhelming sadness as he described his loss because, although the circumstances were different, I understood his pain. Over a few months our relationship grew: we met, decided to retire, moved in together and eventually married.
As time passed, however, I felt I was sharing the house with someone else. There were no photos of his first wife anywhere, but that just emphasised her presence. The dcor reflected her taste, not mine. Chintzy wallpapers. Flowery curtains. A cold and forbidding dining room that had not been used in years.
As we worked together through his grief, we both realised there were practical steps we could take. We set out on an ambitious program of redecorating and modernising the house, spending time sharing our ideas on how we wanted it to look.
It became a fun activity, engaging our competitive spirits as we argued about light fittings, furniture and soft furnishings. Gradually, it became our home, a place in which we would both be happy to spend the future.
He was eight years older than me (perhaps wiser, but I\\u2019d never admit that) and everyone said we were a wonderful match; I basked in their praise. I was divorced; Andy was a widower. This was our chance, finally, at a happily-ever-after \\u2013 but it became clear there were more than two of us in the relationship.
One day, driving to the beach, we were playing a silly game of \\u201CName that tune\\u201D. It was Andy\\u2019s turn to guess the song, so I sang one of my favourites, The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. But this time, he didn\\u2019t jump to guess in his usual exuberant manner and his silence confused me.
Then I noticed his eyes were brimming with tears. When I asked him what was wrong, he was unable to reply and I thought his first wife must have loved that song, too. But it was worse than that. My heart sank when he finally replied: \\u201CI chose that song for my wife\\u2019s funeral.\\u201D That was when I realised I would have to come to terms with the ghost of his late wife.
It wasn\\u2019t the first time I had felt this way. He would often regale me with tales of their fancy dinner parties or walking adventures. She had been a well-spoken, vegetarian ballerina. I came from public housing, was overweight and loved nothing more than fish and chips. As time went by, I felt more and more inadequate and unable to live up to the picture I had created of her and the perfect life they must have had together.
He was everything I had ever dreamt of in a partner \\u2013 courteous, loving and kind, the perfect gentleman, but with traces of his bad-boy upbringing, which made me laugh. And his intelligence and sense of competition sparked a fire between us.
One evening, well into the night, fuelled by a bottle or two of wine, we had an argument about something drawn from Andy\\u2019s work. The sociologist Harvey Sacks had said that when most people hear the phrase \\u201CThe baby cried; the mummy picked it up\\u201D, they would assume that the woman involved was the baby\\u2019s mummy. I said that was obvious; Andy claimed there was nothing in the phrase to suggest that. Neither of us would give in. Amid gales of laughter, at four in the morning, we agreed to disagree.
Many of my students came from underprivileged backgrounds and I was determined to see them succeed. That was the centre of my life. I was in my 50s and had given up on relationships after many online dating failures. I was happy with that decision and wasn\\u2019t looking for anything romantic. It was safer and less heartbreaking that way.
As time passed, however, I felt I was sharing the house with someone else. There were no photos of his first wife anywhere, but that just emphasised her presence. The d\\u00E9cor reflected her taste, not mine. Chintzy wallpapers. Flowery curtains. A cold and forbidding dining room that had not been used in years.
We even slept in their marital bed (albeit with a different mattress). Pride of place in the extensive gardens were the roses she had planted. Roses had always been my favourite flower, but they couldn\\u2019t be now, as they were hers. I was beginning to feel suffocated by her presence.
Our previous married lives had been very different. I had left a husband consumed with a gambling addiction; Andy had lost someone he still loved, whom he had been married to for 30 years. She hadn\\u2019t done anything wrong. He didn\\u2019t dislike her. I wanted to support him in his warm memories of his late wife.
But when he told me one night that she had been his soulmate, I felt such pain, as if I was a consolation prize. Second best. It was selfish, I know, feeling that way \\u2013 she hadn\\u2019t done me any harm and she wasn\\u2019t even here \\u2013 but I couldn\\u2019t talk myself out of feeling hurt.
I became obsessed with trying to find out what she was like and how different their relationship was to ours. I asked Andy\\u2019s friends and even the gardener about her. I knew Andy loved me, but did he love me just as much? Something had to change.
At the same time, I was being warmly received by Andy\\u2019s friends and family, who welcomed me into their lives. The weight of the past seemed to ease for both of us and I encouraged Andy to choose his favourite photograph of himself and his first wife. It is now displayed in our living room along with the rest of our family. She shouldn\\u2019t be hidden away like a secret that can\\u2019t be spoken about. She is a part of the person he is now. The man I love.
As time passed, we became caught up in the everyday business of our families and friends. We discovered that life is never really frozen in aspic. One of my daughters graduated, after Andy\\u2019s coaching, and became a social worker. The other became a qualified tutor and business owner in beauty therapy, with Andy supporting her studies. As our grandsons grew up, we both became proud and exhausted grandparents.
All of those experiences have drawn us closer together. And I realise now that I was wrong to fear the past, when the future has so much to offer us. If I could talk to my earlier self, four years ago, I would tell her: \\u201CIt is all right to have loved someone else in the past. We can have more than one soulmate. What counts is celebrating the love and respect we have for each other.\\u201D
We are both busier than ever in our retirement and looking forward to what the future holds for us. And when time allows, I am planning my next steps as an author, with Andy by my side \\u2013 though I was right about the baby and the mummy.
Be very aware of your boundaries. If you can\\u2019t handle photographs of the deceased in your bedroom or their belongings in your house, then you must communicate that or it will fester in your relationship. Contemplate what you can and can\\u2019t accept, then discuss that with your partner. Often it\\u2019s just that they haven\\u2019t realised the effect on you.
All new relationships require negotiating new ways of doing things, but a refusal to talk about the deceased person is not helpful. It\\u2019s possible to have more than one great love in life \\u2013 ask anyone with more than one child. So, even if your partner still misses their first partner, it doesn\\u2019t mean they love you less. However, you do need to communicate your own feelings, which are equally valid.
