National Marriage Week February 7-14, 2012

What can you do to celbrate your marriage? According to the founders of Marriage Today, Reverend Mike and Mrs. Trisha Fox, although a poor economy can weaken an already troubled marriage, the decline in marriage stems from a much deeper issue. They state that American has forgotten about “the value and importance of the sanctity and relevance of marriage”. They also believe that there is a “war  against godly, traditional marriage and its importance” by the media and liberals. In order to counteract this issue, couples need to re-prioritize thier marraiges thru action and prayer. The scripture reference is James 3 where God tells us the ‘faith withouth works is dead.” We not only have to be in constant prayer about our marriages. We also need to take action! Be responsible for your marriage.

When is the last time that you asked your spouse : “What can I do for you today?”   “What can I do for our marriage?”  “How can I make a difference in my marriage?”

Try to do one thing each day for your spouse and one thing for the two of you as a couple. This will help you to feel connected.
