Protecting Date Night

The leaders of the church have requested that we set aside each Friday night as date night for couples. This is a night when you are supposed to work on the most important relationship in your family. The relationship between husband and wife really cements the family together. If this relationship is solid it is easier to deal with everything else that comes at you as a family. It can be very frustrating to have this night undermined.

What a waste of time; precious time that you can’t put a price tag on. To … Continue reading →

At least I do, especially when I see the way people behave towards their supposed love one and the lack of time and concern put into their marriage. This attitude towards marriage is reflected in our movies and TV programs. Recently while watching a program, which I’m not going to name because it is inherent in many of our TV shows, I thought how different the attitude there towards marriage is to mine. Obviously it is different to Tristi’s too after reading her latest blog. Notice what she’s thinking about and … Continue reading →
