Key 12: Make a difference together

People's skills can differ quite a bit, but that does not make it impossible for you as a couple to serve the Lord together. You do not have to do the same thing, but you can do it together! Some of the times you can join, serve, and enjoy your partner as they thrive in their gifts and calling. At other times your partner can do the same for you, or you can become involved in the same outreach. This can be at church, in your city, cross-culturally, or taking a missions trip together. Take time to discuss what would work best in your relationship to fulfil the call of God on both your lives.

Key 13: Treat each other with respect

Putting God first and at the center of your relationship does not make any one of the two of you perfect! It does, however, help you to view one another with grace (for the shortcomings), and respect (for the special gifts). When your relationship hurts, do not give up. Take it to the Lord in prayer as a couple and ask for His help.
