ChadH,
There are things we know for certain about Piper’s marriage – because he says himself – “rock solid” is not always an emotionally satisfying metaphor, especially to a woman” and they need “healing from the inside of my soul, through Noël’s heart,” to his credit, Piper admits “pride in my soul that…, grieve me, and have taken a toll on my relationship with Noël and others.”

We could speculate all day because pride has some basic manifestations, but one thing is obvious – that whatever Piper’s “species” are, they are serious enough to require giving his *full* attention to restoring the emotional bond with his wife.

Having a “rock solid” commitment to stay married is not the same as having a healthy emotional bond. I’m thankful that it seems Piper has recognized that.

I hope that his example will be followed by many in the comp. movement.
