We put smoke, carbon monoxide, water, alarm systems and other devices in your home to protect you. We buy car insurance for our cars, car alarms, etched glass, special locks, all to protect our cars. Your computers has software to protect them from viruses our outside influence of other people trying to hack in. Look at all the protections that are put in place around you to protect the property that you may have.
Now look at the protection you are giving to your marriage, to your family, is it the same kind of protection that you have given the things around you?
I have talked a lot about the "Love Dare" book and talked how it can save a marriage, but it isn't just about saving a marriage, it is about building blocks to fire proof a marriage and family. Just because it may be a Christian marriage, does not mean that fire will never come, but being prepared for when it does, is so much more worth it. Invest into your marriage and family, take time to grow together. A marriage is a gift from God, two souls unite as one and when God is at the middle, 3 strands are stronger and not easily broken, but it takes work, it takes communication and all of this is so worth it, not because I say so, but it is written in the Bible, it talks about how marriages can work and should work, but it takes surrendering and being prepared.
What are you going to do to protect your car, your house, computer? Those are all replaceable, but is your marriage, your family? Take time to think about what is more important in your life, don't just answer that, think about it. Where you put your time and money into, that is where your heart will be. What are you investing your time and money into?
