“Marriage is hard work.”

“Marriage is hard work,” says the pastor to the couple. This statement is true. Marriage does involve hard work. However, it does not paint the fullest–or healthiest–of pictures for marriage.

Sharing How It Ended…

Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. -Ephesians 5:11-12, NIV It happened to me, again, today.
