Day 34 & 35

Day 34 - Love Celebrates Godliness

[Love] does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. ~1 Corinthians 13:6

You are one of the most influential people in your spouses life. Have you been using your influence to lead them to honor God, or to dishonor Him?

TODAY'S DARE

FIND A SPECIFIC, RECENT EXAMPLE WHEN YOUR SPOUSE DEMONSTRATED CHRISTIAN CHARACTER IN A NOTICEABLE WAY. VERBALLY COMMEND THEM FOR THIS AT SOME POINT TODAY.

I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart. ~Psalm 101:2

Day 35 - Love is Accountable

Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed. ~Proverbs 15:22

A couple that faces problems alone is more likely to fall apart during tough times. However, the ones who interlock their lives in a network of other strong marriages radically increase their chances of surviving the fiercest of storms. It is crucial that a husband and wife pursue godly advice, healthy friendships and experienced mentors.

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man is he who listens to counsel. ~Proverbs 12:15

Encourage one another day after day ...so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin ~Hebrews 3:13

Each one of us will give an account of himself to God. ~Romans 14:12

This appointment is unbreakable. And though we're all ultimately responsible for the way we approach it, we can surely stand as much help as others can give.

TODAY'S DARE

FIND A MARRIAGE MENTOR-SOMEONE WHO IS A STRONG CHRISTIAN AND WHO WILL BE HONEST AND LOVING WITH YOU. IF YOU FEEL THAT COUNSELING IS NEEDED, THEN TAKE THE FIRST STEP TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT. DURING THIS PROCESS, ASK GOD TO DIRECT YOUR DECISIONS AND DISCERNMENT.

In abundance of counselors there is victory. ~Proverbs 11:14

Here's my question for today's blog:
How does a couple "find" a mentor couple? The obvious answer is prayer. But after that...what? "Hi. You don't really know us but will you mentor us?" ??????
