Cultivating a Close Knit Marriage: Series Introduction

Photo by Josh Ruud

 In honor of Valentine's Day, this month I thought I would focus my posts on making the most of your marriage. God has called all married couples to become "one flesh," and unity and togetherness aren't instantaneous, nor do they come without great work and effort. If we are to have God glorifying marriages that magnify Christ's relationship to His Church, we must daily center our marriages on obedience to His Word.

I am no marriage expert, and God only knows what a long way Niall and I have to go in this department. By God's grace this will be a life long endeavor. And by His grace already at work in our lives we have seen much growth and fruit in our three and a half years. With that growth has come the sweetest delight and joy. My desire is to share the things we have learned and are currently learning and working on with you. ALL married women, please share your words of wisdom in the comments, there is so much we can learn from one another!

How can we cultivate close-knit marriages in a world that hates God, His Church, and the family? You don't have to look hard to see the havoc being wrecked by the enemy on marriages. Sadly, even and especially Christian marriages. That's what we will be looking at in this series! Come along with me as I explore ways the Christian couple can grow in grace together.
