From This Day Forward: Five Commitments for a Fail-Proof Marriage

Send us Fan Mail Our relationships need intentional commitments to thrive in a world where the divorce rate hovers at 50% both inside and outside the church. • Five commitments to fail-proof your marriage: seek God, fight fair, have fun, stay pure, never give up • Your spouse cannot fill your God-shaped hole - only God can satisfy that emptiness • Healthy couples fight for resolution, not personal victory • Establish ground rules for arguments: no name-calling, no raised voices, no historical references • Schedule fun in your marriage through face-to-face time, side-by-side activities, and physical intimacy • Create boundaries to protect your marriage: transparency with devices, accountability partners • Difficult seasons don't mean your marriage is a mistake - refuel your love instead of giving up • A happy marriage is a union of two good forgivers • Love covers a multitude of sins - be the one who forgives and shows grace If you're feeling distant from God or your spouse, return to the basics. Spend time together, share your life, and make the commitments that will strengthen your relationship for the long haul. Thank you for listening to the Relate Community Church podcast!
