Day 17 of the 28-Day Marriage Challenge

Day 17: Think Bigger

Marriage is private. It's between two people and much of it's substance will never be known except between husband and wife. Yet marriage isn't just about us. In Happily, I write, "Our marriage is bigger than us." (pg. 96) The well-being of our children, extended family, and community is partly dependent on us living out the vows we made to each other. Ultimately, marriage is even bigger than just family and friends. When you said, "I do," that was not spoken primarily to your spouse. In a wedding ceremony, its called the Declaration of Intent and it is spoken to God.When marriage is seen as just about us, whether we work or not only impacts us. Yet when we see our marriage as bigger than us, every act of love is also an act of service to others and an act of worship to God.   Application: Make a list of the people who benefit from your marriage. What would be the impact if you failed to love one another?For more, see:Let God Guide Your MarriageHow to Stay Married in the Tough Times
