It takes a lot of sacrifice and compromise for two people to become one in marriage. Add a disability into the mix and the struggles can seem overwhelming. Physical and emotional impairments often clamor for undivided attention, which can lead to self-centeredness and other barriers. But when a couple determines to keep Jesus Christ at the center of the relationship, a disability can actually become a benefit in a marriage.

One of the best things I’ve done is let go of my expectations about how life should be in order to embrace it as it is. I’ve found over the years of a challenging childhood, traveling as a musician with Third Day, marriage, and parenting, that God’s got me. He’s got you too, and he won’t let you go. It turns out, the road he has for us is the best one after all.

This is a seven-day devotional focusing on the power of relationships and the need to live an open life.

As humans, we have the uncanny ability to make the easy, difficult. One of the things we tend to make so mystical and complicated is this thing we refer to as “calling.” But the Bible gives us many places to start when we don't know what to do.

If there’s one thing we have learned over years of dating, break-ups, prayers, waiting, and (for Kristen) marriage, it’s this: romantic relationships are complicated.

Whatever season of life you’re in, we pray this week-long devotional will help you discover God’s vision for lasting relationship. Because love was God’s idea in the first place!
