Remember, your marriage is creating a legacy. When you work together to strengthen your marriage, it doesn't only benefit you and your spouse. Future generations (your children and their children) are strengthened by a strong marriage!
“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” Psalm 30:5 It is a faithful reminder that problems are temporary, but our blessings last forever.
God can make your trials bridges that connect you to Him and others. He can make your pain into a ministry that helps others who struggle. God redeems everything in your life—He redeems your trials and makes them tools that build His kingdom.

My body bears scars from surgeries I never expected to endure. Scars that make me unique. And unique is beautiful.
I don’t know what your scars are, sweet friend. Maybe yours can’t be seen. But scars are not imperfections. They are survival stories waiting to be told!
The WISE wife focuses on what her husband does right and lets him know often how awesome he is.
The FOOLISH wife only focuses on all her husband's faults and annoyances.
Unhappy couples count their marriage problems before their marriage blessings. In this life, you will always have problems. All marriages have struggles. The difference is that happy couples have learned the secret of focusing on their blessings instead of just their issues.
God is working things out. He’s not far away. He is right here with us.
We need to cling to this hope. Believe this hope. Live out this hope.
Even if our prayers aren’t answered in the way and timing we want.
Even when this process feels messy. We will trust that God is good.
You’re not who people say you are. You’re not who social media says you are. You’re not who the scale says you are.
You’re who GOD says you are. And He says you're loved. He says you are held. He says You're His.
Forever His.
Tonight, what if we prayed prayers that made God our focus rather than our circumstances?
Prayers like...
God, despite my circumstances, I will find reasons to praise You.
God, even when I feel disappointed by what life brings, I will trust You to bring good out of bad.

We have the power of choice. We can choose our attitude. We can choose where we deposit our hope. We can choose in what or whom we trust.
The choices we make today will have an impact tomorrow.
