This week Rev. Brenda Satrum shares a message about the joys and struggles of marriage.
To practice at home and away:
You/your marriage is a gift: Say early and often, "Wow! God gave me you."
Your marriage/relationship is a choice: The cup/quaich conversation.
- Choose a cup (or Celtic quaich) and a place to put it as an invitation to talk.
- Find a time that's free of interruption and with good energy.
- Read and pray Colossians 3:1-17 or another awesome passage.
- In the Spirit of Christ, lean in and listen, speak, and do your work.
- If you need further help, talk to wise friends, a pastor, or a counselor.
- Drink to your peace with a beverage that's a treat for you both.
Your marriage/way of life is a container to grow in: The cross.
Display a cross that invites you to see your life and relationships as a movement in relation to receive the love of God and to share love with others as Christ did and does.
