So Jody and I are doing a marriage class at our church. And no, our marriage is not in trouble. We just want to make it better. No relationship is protected from breaking down without intentional effort to build it up. Jody and I have been married for 19 years and have had our ups and downs just as other married couples do. No marriage is perfect. We are all broken...every single one of us. I wanted to share a statement I read in our lesson for this week that I think is so very true of our perception of marriage in our world today. "We all want the ideal, end up getting an ordeal, and because our idea of love is distorted, start looking for a new deal. Maybe what we need, however, is not a new deal, but a new vision - a new understanding of what real love is." Emotions alone will not last. We need and were intended to experience and enjoy something more. Much more. God deserves first place in our marriages....and we deserve the experience of putting Him there. ❤️✞❤️
Blessings,
Dalinda
