Love Thought For Today: God's Beautiful Blessing of Marriage

Marriage is an incredible and challenging assignment. To be called to marriage is to be called to a disciplined work, a mighty test of character, a great ministry, a higher expectation of self revelation and personal growth, and a deeper communion with the Spirit. With the blessing of every test, trial, argument, reconciliation, forgiveness, and miraculous touch from God, we grow closer to His design for our creation and communion with Him.

It's less about the Eros love between a man and woman, and more about attaining the fruitfulness, richness, and eternal nature of Agape love. The trials we face as a couple are a gift from God to reveal himself to us.

The gift of intimacy and oneness designed to perpetuate his glorious creation.

A living example and lesson of the intimacy He desired since His word breathed live into Adam's flesh.

The embodiment and accomplishment of His very essence and Glory.

FUN WANTED FOR STRESSED COUPLE: Dating Ideas for Marriage

It's date night once again...

I love date night because it gives my Husband and me a chance to have fun, joke, laugh, and be friends. At first date nights seemed a bit overkill or too forced, but as the stress of life's long journey together set in at times, we've begun to look forward to our night during the week where we dust ourselves off, and enjoy the pleasures of life- together. A lasting marriage means a solid friendship, so we try to keep an open mind about what the other person likes, and experiment to find a common interest we can share.

Below are just a few fun and budget-friendly things Nick and I like to do together throughout the week to get to know each other, take a break, and have some fun. We are always up to trying new things, so please, comment and share your ideas and what activities you and your mate enjoy!
