NURTURE YOUR MARRIAGE
Did you read the wonderful article, NURTURE YOUR MARRIAGE by Shannon Mobley in the latest issue of Above Rubies? You can read it on pages 6 and 7. Sadly, I wasn’t able to get a picture of their family in time for the printing of the magazine so here it is for you.
Here are a few quotes from her article:
“After 25 years of marriage, I learned that marriage must always trump mothering. My husband was here first. Our union is the foundation upon which everything is laid. We are building our family on the groundwork of a covenant marriage in the Lord.”
“Is there a strong united front between you and your husband? Or do the children play sides, as it were, finding a ‘hole’ in your unguarded union?”
“Our girls giggle every time my husband gives me a little kiss in the kitchen or decides to dance with me spontaneously with my apron on and spatula in hand . . . They love that we love each other. They want that same romance with their future husband.”
“We must feed and water our marriage if it is to survive. When all those sweet children are grown, what will be left of the marriage if we do not tend to it now? We must fight for our marriage above all else.”
