I've always said that if you ever want to come face to face with your own selfishness, then get married! Nothing can challenge someone to become a better person quite like a marriage relationship can. Because of that, I can think of few things more worthy of investment than the institution of marriage. Honestly, I wish more folks were up to the challenge. Don't get me wrong. Marriage is tough--even for Texans! It takes a constant and devoted commitment and supernatural help to live with someone the rest of your life--someone who is typically your polar opposite! And beyond that, we believe that the natural "inertia", if you will, of a married couple left to themselves with no support for their relationship is for that couple to grow apart over the years. That's why it takes help from above--along with a jump-in-with-both-feet personal investment. Take it from me, the benefit of that kind of perseverance and lifelong dedication is well worth it.
I'm convinced that everyone needs someone to cheer for them in this life. That is our purpose with this blog. We want to be an encouragement to all of those who are facing the challenges of family life--and married life, in particular. With loaded expectations dealing with everything from money to sex to communication to marital conflict to spiritual issues to in-laws to children, there is obviously a whole lot to discuss about marriage and family issues. Over time, we hope to hear from people who have been there, those that are struggling, and those that have hung in there through some of the more difficult hurdles of family life. We also want to hear from couples that are simply cherishing the unique relationship that God has allowed them to enjoy together. We're always looking for great stories and "best practices" when it comes to our most rewarding (and sometimes difficult) relationships. After all, we're all in this together!
