\"marriage\"I would like to think that most of you know that my family is very important to me. \u00a0I love my family! \u00a0I am so grateful to have them in my life. \u00a0And I want to talk to you today about protecting the foundation of your (and my) family, your MARRIAGE.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I think it\u2019s 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. \u00a0Like our jobs, hobbies, and even sometimes our kids.<\/p>\n

Healthy Marriage<\/h2>\n

I believe that a healthy, happy family can only come from a healthy, happy marriage. \u00a0I know we have all probably heard the old saying:<\/p>\n

\n

When Momma ain\u2019t happy, ain\u2019t nobody happy<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And well there is some truth to that. And the same holds true for the flip side, when Daddy ain\u2019t happy, ain\u2019t nobody happy. \u00a0Because the truth is happiness in the home begins with a good strong marriage.<\/p>\n

And a good marriage takes work. \u00a0You have to be intentional about the things you do and say to really make it work. \u00a0In today\u2019s world it is nothing to hit a little road bump and end the marriage, and anyone can do that. \u00a0But it takes a real commitment to the other person and that relationship, and sadly that\u2019s just rare.<\/p>\n

Dave and Ashley Willis talk about being intentional with your Marriage<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

Even the good things can be a distraction from what is truly important if we are not careful.<\/p>\n

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. \u00a0And that last one is probably the most important, I mean just because we may be there physically doesn\u2019t necessarily mean we are all there, you know what I\u2019m saying?<\/p>\n

At for the most part, when we get distracted and caught up in things that take us away from our family, it usually isn\u2019t on purpose. \u00a0But just like I said we get \u201ccaught up\u201d in whatever it is and before we know it, if we are not careful, we have wasted our lives.<\/p>\n

I am a firm believer that divorce is not an option for my marriage. \u00a0And I think my wife and I have a great marriage, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s always easy. \u00a0I know it can\u2019t be easy being married to me. \u00a0But we make our marriage a priority in our lives.<\/p>\n

Just like last night.<\/a> \u00a0We haven\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important, for the sake of your family to Protect You Marriage<\/strong><\/em>!<\/p>\n
