If you’ve traveled recently, then you probably know that too much baggage can cost you.
In a marriage relationship, the price might be even higher; but, it doesn’t have spoil the journey.
We all have baggage. It’s part of being human.
This week’s recommended resource:
Sacred Marriage: What If God Designed Marriage to Make Us Holy More Than to Make Us Happy by Gary L. Thomas
Your marriage is more than a sacred covenant with another person. It is a spiritual discipline designed to help you know God better, trust him more fully, and love him more deeply. Scores of books have been written that offer guidance for building the marriage of your dreams. But what if God’s primary intent for your marriage isn’t to make you happy. . . but holy? And what if your relationship isn’t as much about you and your spouse as it is about you and God?
…and when each of you bring “shared” bags from previous marriages, look out! Everything is much more complicated. Good stuff y’all.
