Protecting Your Marriage

I would like to think that most of you know that my family is very important to me. I love my family! I am so grateful to have them in my life. And I want to talk to you today about protecting the foundation of your (and my) family, your MARRIAGE.
I think it’s so ironic that a lot of times the family or marriage we work so hard to provide for is torn by the things we do to provide. Like our jobs, hobbies, and even sometimes our kids.
Healthy Marriage
I believe that a healthy, happy family can only come from a healthy, happy marriage. I know we have all probably heard the old saying:
When Momma ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy
And well there is some truth to that. And the same holds true for the flip side, when Daddy ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy. Because the truth is happiness in the home begins with a good strong marriage.
And a good marriage takes work. You have to be intentional about the things you do and say to really make it work. In today’s world it is nothing to hit a little road bump and end the marriage, and anyone can do that. But it takes a real commitment to the other person and that relationship, and sadly that’s just rare.

Even the good things can be a distraction from what is truly important if we are not careful.
We just have to make the decision of what is most important and where are we going to invest our time, energy, effort, and concentration. And that last one is probably the most important, I mean just because we may be there physically doesn’t necessarily mean we are all there, you know what I’m saying?
At for the most part, when we get distracted and caught up in things that take us away from our family, it usually isn’t on purpose. But just like I said we get “caught up” in whatever it is and before we know it, if we are not careful, we have wasted our lives.
I am a firm believer that divorce is not an option for my marriage. And I think my wife and I have a great marriage, but that doesn’t mean it’s always easy. I know it can’t be easy being married to me. But we make our marriage a priority in our lives.
Just like last night. We haven’t had good quality time just the two of us in a long time, so we decided to take a night to relax by our selves, without our child.
It’s important, for the sake of your family to Protect You Marriage!
