I found that to be so helpful in understanding God's design for each of these things that are so important. In other words, we are all worthy and needed in God's bigger plan. <br /><br />I also found this topic to be very inspiring in my profession, Chiropractic. We are called to take care of our bodies, but also equally called to take care of each other in our marriage. We rejoice in good times and comfort in times of need. <br /><br />To answer your journal question, Trina.. I feel like if I pray on my marriage and for Torey and I separately daily, pray with my husband daily, and also spend a little time each day in my Bible I will do my part to maintain a healthy God-centered marriage.

The question, "...I really enjoyed this lesson. The question, "Just like you take care of your body daily, what are some things you can do to take care of your marriage daily to maintain it and keep it healthy?", seems like common sense, but I have never really thought of marriage in that way. From this day forward, I will make a point to ask myself that question every day to ensure that I am maintaining a healthy marriage. In the craziness of life, I find myself putting Chris (and our marriage) on the back burner so to speak. Take this devotional/blog for example, I am normally exhausted in the evenings when I finally sit down around 10 or 11 pm and I fail to read/post for the day. That happens many days in a row. This is just one example of how I fail to maintain a healthy marriage. I truly do believe that this is so important because I strengthen myself and my marriage when I deepen my relationship with Christ, as well as surround myself with like-minded wives.Shaunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16903652639780755770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7430037121480611504.post-32130919177120812022014-02-20T18:42:43.073-08:002014-02-20T18:42:43.073-08:00It is very important to remember that marriage is ...It is very important to remember that marriage is when two become one. Therefore, a husband and wife must work together in unity to make a marriage complete. I am very independent, and I like to think that I can do everything on my own. However, that is definitely not the case when it comes to marriage. In order to make my marriage fruitful, Ryan and I will need to work together and take care of one another.<br /><br />Lately, I have been very selfish. My priorities need some real work. With tax season in full force, I have been neglecting several things. One of the biggest things that I have neglected is my marriage. Ryan cooks, cleans, and encourages me everyday. I have to take the time to remember to show him appreciation, love, and respect. I take him for granted a lot. It is my goal to pay more attention to his needs and do my part to make our marriage complete. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16399120269713335823noreply@blogger.com
