Good morning married Couples,

I trust all is well on the family front. I want to conclude the mini-series I started a few weeks ago about "Does your spouse complete you?

We all know that---we are complete in CHRIST. Yet in God's wisdom he has given us a spouse to enhance our relationship.

Last week we shared #1 which encouraged us to Spend time together.

I know that is very common, yet this is the most neglected practice in most couples' lives. 

Take care of the point and the rest is a walk in the park.

#2- Invest in someone else's life together

It is great to invest in each other's lives and we must.

I have found that when a couple invests some time into another person's life it draws them together for a common purpose without self as the center.

Who is it in your lives that may need a helping hand? Agreed that you will spend a limited time to encourage and help them grow, and then move on to someone else. Try not to ignore the previous person or couple as you move forward. Not only will you build a great relationship, but you will help them, maybe save their marriage.

#3- Address Conflicts.

You have heard about the "fly in the ointment". 

Learn to address and resolve any conflict that comes up. By the way---they will come up. We are only human. 

Marriages do not solve problems by themselves, it takes people to do that. SO DO IT!!!

Clearly express the issue at hand and deal with it till solved. If you need outside help, ask for it. ONLY, please ask the RIGHT people, and not your buddy.

At the end of the conflict, if it deals with the 2 of you---say I am sorry, forgive me and let it go.

Much love,

Pastor G
