Good Morning,
It's a great day to be alive. The temperatures will be rocking the high range. But what goes up will come down. I just poured a hot cup of door County Irish Cream Coffee and now it is time to write.
Today will be the last day of June and as we head into our part of July, two weddings in the family will take place. Two of our nephews have found their true loves and will make the commitment of their lives in July. I will go on record as saying that I am very happy for them and their prospective partners. I do however wish that my parents and my sister were still alive to be part of these celebrations. It would be great if Nana and Papa could be be with us on their days. One nephew will be missing his mother also.
What could I say that would be great advice to both of the couples? There is only one thing that if done individually will cement the love they have as couples.
Matthew 22:37-38 Jesus said to him. "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. 38. This is the first and great commandment."
If this would be their goal, the other person in the relationship never has to worry about where they stand with their new spouse. If God is number one, the position of the wife and the husband is cemented solid within the relationship because God always leads us to love our spouses, teaches patience, hope, forgiveness and attitudes that reflect His values. Marriage is one day at a time and love is built upon the daily experiences of walking individually with God and then secondly as a couple. One goes hand in hand with the other. If you want to grow as a couple make sure your own walk with God is where it needs to be.
God bless,
Marty
