This book is a treasure for anyone who is single and looking to get into a relationship, someone who is courting, engaged, married, divorced, on the brink of divorce, or is daring to marry again. • • Join us tonight as we discuss the ministry of marriage and marital biblical roles for husbands and wives. • Bring your questions or just tune in and listen. • #christianmarriage #Godlyhusband #Godlywife #wifeintraining #husbandintraining #oneflesh #newlywed #dopecouples #weddingday #powercouple #ministry #millennialmarriage #servant #villageminded #marriedlife #blacklovedoc #forevermarriages 🎶"That's just the way it is..."🎶 Prayerfully your friends, parents, relatives, and others are accepting to the change because in the first year your #1 focus should be to build a solid foundation with your spouse. In your single life, you may have talked to your parents everyday for hours, gave money to relatives, hung out with coworkers for happy hour every Wednesday, etc. Understand, this may change based on different priorities and the decisions you make as a couple, which naturally leads to a shift in the relationship. **We are not saying to abandon your friends or family!** Just be mindful that your relationships will inevitably change and it can be challenging on both ends. . . Married folk - feel free to share how you navigated this in the early years⬇️⬇️ One thing I knew I had to be intentional about going into marriage was my approach to conflict/resolution. I grew up hearing my parents argue all the time and didn't get to see healthy communication exchanges even on "good days". I always wanted better for my future marriage (even at 8/9 years old)! ... So much of our behavior as an adult is a product of our childhood experience. So it was comfortable for me to just stick with my learned response to conflict: walking away/shutting down, passive aggressiveness, talking loud/yelling, etc. It was hard stopping what felt comfortable but by faith, the holy spirit and conscious effort, that type of communication did not last long in our home. As a couple we decided in year 1 to address conflict like mature Christians: respectfully, gently and head on. We make "appointments" if needed and aim to be spirit led. Then sometimes, I find myself fighting what seems natural to my flesh. The years of dysfunction can't be undone but GOD IS ABLE!! ..a forever marriage is our goal❤❤❤ . . . #forevermarriages #communication #keepfighting #ilovemyhusband #vows We know it's tough to open up to others, especially since we are told from a young age to not talk to anyone about any marital relationship business (We too can be private!) But yall, this isn't true or healthy. We shouldn't suffer in silence or feel that we have to figure EVERYTHING out. How can married people work around this? Each spouse can commit to finding at least one accountability partner. Husbands find one husband. Wives find one wife. Make sure each spouse is cool with your "pick". Then, take it a step further and find couple friends that want the best for you AND your spouse💯 Don't be fooled. A healthy marriage doesn't happen through isolation. We love yall! Praying for your forever marriage🙏🏽🙏🏽 . . . #forevermarriages #marriedlife #marriageworks #husbandandwife #couplefriends #community #wisdom #wifeinwaiting #transformation #healthycommunication #interculturalmarriage #healthymarriages #accountability #villageminded #husbandmaterial Had a recent convo with a married friend who heard this from a marriage counselor friend! If you are on the brink of divorce or separation, please answer these 3 questions truthfully. The answer must be "yes" to all three in order for the marriage to work (Your spouse must answer all 3 as well). 🙏🏽🙏🏽 . . . #forevermarriages #marriedlife #keepfighting #testimony #villageminded #convenant #christiancouples #vows #generational #communication #foreverbae #marriageworks #TBT From college sweethearts to #foreverbaes ... our ❤ story is my favorite. Honor and celebrate your marriage daily! #keepfighting #Vday
