About 2 months ago a young couple approached Doug and I and they were getting married and ask if we would walk with them at least the first year of their marriage.... of course our minds were like "why" us??... well after a couple of brief conversations we said YES!... if you can imagine we started thinking about our own marriage and how we could teach a younger couple because its not always perfect.... BUT one of the things we have learned over the years is that BOTH husband and wife MUST LOVE their heavenly Father and KNOW Him!.. lets face it we are BOTH sinners and you put two people living in the flesh it will not be pretty .....
we met for the first time last night and we had already picked out a book to go through that is based SOLELY off SCRIPTURE.... that is IMPORTANT.... if we view it any other way, not good! The book is by John Piper "This Momentary Marriage" here is a link to a video that is worth watching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET YOUR TISSUES!!!!!

After meeting last night I can assure you we can learn ALOT from them!... I am thankful for this time with them... Life on Life, in the Word, and beautiful fellowship!
