What Did You Expect?

In his new book on marriage, Paul David Tripp offers six valuable commitments for the married couple.

1. We will give ourselves to a regular lifestyle of confession and forgiveness.
2. We will make growth and change our daily agenda.
3. We will work together to build a sturdy bond of trust.
4. We will commit to building a relationship of love.
5. We will deal with our differences with appreciation and grace.
6. We will work to protect our marriage. 

Imagine the impact on our marriages if we were to apply these commitments.  I imagine marriages that flourish and not fail.  I imagine marriages that endure and not decline.  I challenge you to cultivate your marriage relationship today.  Serve and surprise your spouse!
