Marriage

By Pat Morley

When the party is over, the children are grown and gone, and your friends have all moved to those retirement pods in Florida, there will only be two rocking chairs sitting side by side. Doesn't it make sense to make an investment now in the person who will be sitting by you then?

Here are my "top ten" practical ideas to help your marriage thrive.

1. Listen to each other.
2. Spend time together alone.
3. Touch each other.
4. Encourage each other with words.
5. Unconditionally accept each other.
6. Be committed to each other.
7. Take care of your financial future together.
8. Laugh with each other.
9. Make each other your top priority.
10. Be each other's best friend.

Marriage represents the highest potential of any human relationship. God calls you to love your spouse so she can become all He wants her to be.
