In the first few moments of their story I am reminded of Dr James Dobson’s article ‘The Twelve Marriage Killers’. 1. Overcommitment and physical exhaustion: Beware of this condition. It is especially insidious for young couples who are trying to get started in a profession or in school. Do not try to go to college, work full-time, have a baby, manage a toddler, fix up a house, and start a business at the same time. It sounds ridiculous, but many young couples do just that and are then surprised when their marriages fall apart. Why wouldn’t they? The only time they see each other is when they are worn out! Husbands and wives must reserve time for one another if they hope to keep their love alive.
Thanks for being so transparent in this podcast! So encouraging! God bless you!
Amazing story
So encouraging! Thanks so much! As you were saying, God keeps sending signs in the process of standing and in the process of standing He perfects the love, patience and commitment in us (the stander) & to Him also! This has encouraged me even more to continue to war and fight for my marriage & family.
