Face Storms Together

🛡️ Remove the D-Word from Your Marriage

When you bring up divorce, even just as a thought, it becomes an option. Once it's an option, it's only a matter of time before it becomes reality. Remove it from your mind and focus on the foundation of your marriage.

🗝️ Start with the End in Mind: Life throws challenges at everyone, financial struggles, health issues, and family conflicts. The key is to persevere through them by always choosing your spouse first. The Bible reminds us to leave behind our old ties and cling to our spouse, putting them above all else.

🏠 Lean on Your Foundation: If your marriage was built on strong principles from the beginning, you’ll have something solid to rely on when tough times come. Always put your spouse first. If you focus on self-preservation, you lose sight of preserving the relationship.

💬 Prepare for the Storms: Life will inevitably throw challenges your way. Be proactive, communicate, and plan for these storms together. Don’t assume, ""It’ll never happen to us."" Have the tough conversations early so you can face challenges as a united team.

🔄 Understand the Cycles of Marriage: Marriage isn’t static. You’ll go through phases of discovery, perseverance, and restoration repeatedly. Be prepared to continually work on and nurture your relationship.
