Help Your Spouse Win
By Bil and Jessica Cornelius of Bay Area Fellowship
As pastors, it can be difficult to carve out family time in our schedules. School schedules and church schedules often do not go well together. For example, my day off (Bil) is on Fridays, yet the kids are in school. Then of course, the kids are off Saturdays and Sundays, the two biggest work days for me (we have Saturday service too). As a father and pastor, sometimes I felt like I just couldn’t win.
When the kids were little, Jessica would often go home during the last service I was preaching on Sundays, load the SUV with surfboards and gear, and get all the kids changed into their swimwear. When I would get home, she would hand me my trunks, have me change and nap in the car as she drove us out to the beach. Then I would wake up and spend the afternoon with our family on the beach until sunset. These are some of our favorite memories to this day. Jessica arranged everything. All I had to do was go along. She helped me get the win.
We have to make the most of our relationships. Our marriage is vital to having a healthy ministry. We encourage you to look for ways to make your spouse successful.
1. Is there something your spouse struggles with that you can make a difference in?
2. How can you help your spouse get the win?
