Marriage Monday. How we met and three foundational truths to Marriage success

My wife Ranae and I have been successfully married for almost 31 years now by God's Will and Grace. We want to encourage you in your Marriage and even singles in your search for God's Will and Choice for your spouse. This is the story of how we met and married along with three pillars or things we feel have sustained our marriage over the years. 1. Friendship FIRST. Long before we met we developed a deep open relationship with each other. No physical attraction (since we never met of course) and no strings attached. Not trying to impress the other or hide anything we had open and honest communication. That is where Marriage starts and ends is on the personal connection or relationship we have with our spouse. 2. Three become One not just two becoming one. In order for a Godly marriage to be successful it must involve and revolve around the author and creator of marriage.....GOD. He must be the strand that holds us together and we must build a marriage around Him. Who created and defines Marriage? GOD ALONE! Marriage is not an institution of man, but a loving creation by God for one man and one woman to enter into through His name.  3. LAUGH! AND THEN LAUGH SOME MORE! Life and marriage are tough you have to learn to laugh in the valley, and of course when it reaches the mountain top. Don't take everything so serious. ENJOY LIFE AND EACH OTHER!! So enjoy the podcast and please reach out to us. Even to just say Hi or ask any questions we can help you with. We are asking for suggestions ot topics that you want to  hear about. And remember I am here to answer and encourage you with any Bible questions you may have. God bless and go do something of KINGDOM VALUE today!
