Walking into church on Sunday mornings, it's always encouraging to see married couples sitting together. Marriage is a great example of God's love, and it's exactly what the world needs.
In marriage, we can love our kids, our gifts from God. We can accomplish great things, which we cannot accomplish on our own. We can encourage one another when life gets tough, and we can celebrate when times are good.
Marriage can help mold people to becoming all that God created them to be. Most people never see your potential, your gifts, or your interests. But, your spouse does. And when you are cheering one another on, the two of you can make a great team.
There is strength in a team. A winning team can be inspirational. But, a winning team must realize that they need one another. They, also, need to listen to the coach, so that they can continue to work together. Marriage can put you on the winning team.
Of course we all want to be on the winning team, but how does marriage put us on that track? And why is marriage so important?
Family is the foundation of our lives. If you think logically, you realize, we all have to go home at the end of the day. We all need a roof over our head, and food to eat. We all have work to do to take care of ourselves. And God chose to give us a helpmate for all that we do.
Sometimes we start to believe that we don't need a team, that we don't need one another. But, think about our children. They are molded by their environments. They, too, have to go home at the end of the day. And they need their family to be the foundation of their lives. As Mother Teresa said, "Love begins at home." The love that our kids know, is the love that we share. That is what they will take everywhere they go. And, that is where change begins in our broken world.
Thanks for reading!
