Governor Resigns…
In this breaking news article from Fox News, there is a quote I want to addresss. It is Elliot Spitzer, making his resignation speech.
He says that he has begun to atone for his failings. I am reminded of a radio show I regularly listen to, dealing with relationships. The common advice given to couples who have been through unfaithfulness, is to try to work it out. Restitution can be made, and must be if the relationship is to be saved. With Counseling, agreement as to what restitution needs to be made, and any consequences that need to be dealt with, marriages can survive, and end up being even better than they were originally.
Marriage Builders offers hope and encouragement to couples trying to rebuild a marriage that has been hurt. This thing with Spitzer has touched many people, and maybe some will try to fix what is wrong in their relationships because of seeing that even men in powerful positions, with seemingly strong marital relationships, can fall…..hard and fast.
“In the past few days, I have begun to atone for my private failings with my wife Silda, my children and my entire family,” Spitzer said.”The remorse I feel will always be with me. Words cannot describe how grateful I am for the love and compassion they have shown me.
“From those to whom much has been given, much is expected. I have been given much — the love of my family, the faith and trust of the people of New York, and the chance to lead this state.
“I am deeply sorry that I did not live up to what was expected of me.”
He added: “Over the course of my public life, I have insisted I believe correctly, that people regardless of their position or power, take responsibility for their conduct. I can and will ask no less of myself.
“For this reason, I am resigning from the office of governor.”
