Marriage mentor moments for Exceptional Relationships. Unconditional love, forgiveness, boundaries, accepting differences.
Do you have hope for your marriage? This is the first week of advent, when we focus on hope in Christ. But today I want to turn that around a little bit. The success of your marriage is closely related to the quality and object of hope for your marriage.
Do you have a plan for your marriage? When we married we had all sorts of plans. Little did we know, God had plans too. We had no idea how significant God’s plans were.
Heaven’s dream for us is to become God’s Masterpiece, no matter what our struggles are, what occurs in our lives, and where we find ourselves. When we tie the knot we imagine happily ever after. But sometimes things don’t turn out the way we expected. How can we turn this around to become God’s Masterpiece?
