Safety Gates for MarriageExemplo

Home vs House

Be sure to create a home. In a house, people can stay together without sharing life. A home is where people live together, sharing and serving each other and making room for others.  

Our worth, in the current culture, is often found in climbing the ladder of personal success. Or it could be found in other activities that, in themselves, are not wrong but have the potential to separate us from our spouse and godly relationships with those around us.

This could result in a husband and wife not talking to one another and hardly seeing or noticing their children. Decide, as a couple, what godly values you want to build from for your relationship. Family identity has to do with who you are and what you stand for. Talk about it, communicate it and live it!  

Make 1 Peter 4:8-9 your family mission.

Make room for your spouse, in your heart, and in your schedule! Serve each other; honor and care for each other. You have such a great opportunity to demonstrate God’s love to each other. When your spouse feels honored and cared for, they receive others so much easier into their hearts. Duplicate to others the Godly fervour you have for each other.
