There is a lot of good stuff in the August HomeLife magazine, especially on nurturing our marriages.
· Keep dreaming together: When you share your hopes and dreams with your spouse, and when you dream about your future together, you are solidifying your commitment to each other.
· Express your commitment in words: Write out your covenant to each other, frame it, and display it in a place where each of you will see it often.
· Learn new things about your spouse: You are both works in progress, and God will continue to refine you. Continually study your spouse and learn about his or her interests, feelings and gifts.
· Pray with and for your spouse: The Bible tells us that a cord of three strands in not easily broken (Ecclesiastes 4:12). When you are both focused on God and each other, your marriage will be strong enough to face the storms of life.
“Genuine love is honor put into action regardless of the cost.” – Gary Smalley, Love is a Decision.
