10 Truths about Marriage
1 - HAVE SEX OFTEN. Not just for pleasure-but as a reminder: you chose each other.
2 - YOUR PARTNER COMES FIRST. Not your friends, not your family-them.
3 - EGO RUINS MORE MARRIAGES than cheating ever will.
4 - FLIRTING SHOULDN'T STOP AFTER THE WEDDING.
You wanted them once-keep showing them why you still do.
5 - LOVE ISN'T ALWAYS FIREWORKS. Sometimes it's just showing up.:. again and again... like keeping a fire alive.
6 - PRAY FOR YOUR-PARTNER: Even when you're mad-especially when you're mad.
7 - STOP INVITING YOUR MOM INTO YOUR MARRIAGE.
This is a two-person build, not a group project.
8 - QUIT ZOOMING IN IN THEIR FLAWS. You're their partner, not their critic.
9 - LOVE THEM HARDEST WHEN THEY'RE HARDEST TO LOVE.
10 - REMEMBER YOUR TEAMMATES.

If you want an awesome marriage, we suggest the second list. 🥰
If he opens her door, pumps her gas, fixes her car, and provides for her, he's a gentleman.
If she cooks for him, does his laundry, or packs his lunch, she's "raising a grown man."
Why is being cared for romantic when she receives it, but degrading when she gives it?
Make sure it goes both ways.

You modeling a healthy marriage for your kids is so important for two reasons ...
1. It shows them what marriage is like. It gives them an idea what to expect someday. Like it or not, your kids are in your school of marriage. Teach them well.
2. The other reason you need to model a healthy marriage is because the number one fear of kids today is that something will happen to their family. When you model a healthy marriage and show them you are in love ... it eases those fears.
So, keep on modeling a healthy marriage. Keep going on dates, holding hands, flirting, being affectionate, taking a trip alone, etc.

The conviction, the doubt.
All of it.
Now?
Take it in. Be present. Be grateful.
