Choose Wisely

Our children need to hear early and often that who they marry is a really big deal. They might not understand it at a young age, but it’s important to have it in their mind.

Help them recognize how their spouse can either be a delight and helper to their life or they can have a potentially harmful effect on their life. The example your marriage is currently setting for your children will be very influential in their future. They will either want to emulate your example or do things different because they don’t like what they’ve seen in your marriage.

Make sure you use your marriage, complete with all the winning and losing moments to let them learn so their relationships will be even better. Be open with your children in the areas that you know will help them learn how to get along with their spouse. Tell them you want them to improve on what you’ve shown them.

Do what you can to help them keep decay from settling into their marriage.
