Friendship Matters

My spouse and I went to college together and started out as friends. We talked and hung out all the time. It was from our friendship that love developed. It is from our friendship that love continues to grow.

Remembering we are friends with our mates takes the pressure away. When life gets serious, and it’s time to discuss things like bills, family trips and where to spend the holidays, it can be stressful. However, when we choose to approach life as friends, we get through things a bit better. Sometimes, talking about life in a relaxed setting, over your favorite pizza or snack, releases the tension. Friendship matters. Jesus was a friend to the disciples and this allowed them to connect on a deeper level and accomplish many things. As we follow the leadership of Jesus, we all can accomplish greater things in our marriages. So, let’s figure out life alongside our best friend-- our spouse.
