In our just over a month
of marriage I can already recognize that our faith is going to have to be a
choice we make every day. It is so easy to be wrapped up in the things we have
going on and the typical tasks that come with being adults, leaving our faith
on the wayside.
I mentioned in one of my
previous posts that Josh and I are committed to a weekly Bible Study that we do
together, and our DVD series finally arrived! Last night was our first session
and I have to say that I loved it!
The series we are doing is
called, “I Love You More,” by Drs. Les & Leslie Parrott. There are six,
fifteen minute sessions that walk you through how to enable your marriage to
strengthen in the midst of everyday problems. Which gets me excited because I
am not naïve to think we won’t encounter problems, having this series makes me
think that we will simply be prepared to face them together and grow closer as
a result.
A cool aspect of this is
that the video is small group style, so you get to watch and listen to the
interactions of about six couples during each segment. Each couple is at a
various phase in their marriage and it brings new outlooks to the situations
discussed.
Josh and I watched the
first session and I can already say that we are thoroughly enjoying it. I
believe that we will be able to strengthen our marriage by implementing the
things we learn throughout this series. I also believe that Josh and I will
grow together in Christ by making these studies a regular part of our marriage.
By us choosing to have
Sunday night as our “Bible Study Night,” we are creating a routine within our
marriage that will provide us with focus each week to further ensure that we
are keeping our marriage Christ-centered.
~The picture below is from our wedding ceremony. Instead of a candle or sand, we did a Unity Cross to signify Christ being the center of our marriage. Super cool. Highly Recommend.
