First Comes Love - Week 4 “Covenant Keeping”

1. Your spouse is not your enemy!

“A good marriage is not something you find; it’s something you work for. Often there is struggle. You must crucify your selfishness. You must at times confront and at other times confess. The practice of forgiveness is essential. Eventually, it creates a relationship of trust and mutual support.”
Author of Sacred Marriage, Gary Thomas

“When you yield to God and build together, from HIS blueprints, you begin the process of experiencing Oneness.”
Dennis and Barbara Rainey in their book STAYING CLOSE
