This week’s #marriagemondaychallenge from @hillyanne_t can be difficult but so worth it to resolve an issue. 👉🏼 Is something not working for you? We aren't meant to be miserable in our marriages. Sometimes we sacrifice our desires for a greater good, but sometimes that just doesn't work. When it doesn't, it's time to compromise. This week, take an honest look at the things (or just one!) that just aren't working. First take them to prayer, then take them to your spouse to communicate and suggest some compromise. (P.S. We talk a little bit about this in our latest video - check out the link in our profile!)

Here’s to many more years together 💑❤️ #anniversarydate #9yearsandcounting

June 12, 2009 ❤️ 9 years of heartache, disappointment, and frustrations. But it’s also been 9 years of laughter, blessings, and growth. We wouldn’t change a thing! #surprisedbymarriage

This week’s #marriagemondaychallenge is in honor of our anniversary tomorrow 💑 Revisit together the readings from your wedding and reflect on them throughout the week. Have you been remembering those Scripture passages since your wedding day? Let us know which reading was your fave! (P.S. Got an idea for a future challenge? DM us!)

As we read the readings this morning before Mass (which we’re SO glad we did, because kids be crazy), this part in the 2nd reading from 2 Corinthians stood out to us: “For this momentary light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison...” 🔅 We’ve had a bunch of ridiculous things happen lately, and although frustrating, we know in the big picture, they’re not that big of a deal. 🔅 What we’re trying to remind ourselves, though, is that all suffering - big and small - can have eternal consequences. Either we can can get discouraged and listen to the lies that God isn’t with us...or we can trust that He is working all things for our good. (See Romans 8:28!) Suffering produces endurance. (See Romans 5:3!) 🔅 The 1st reading and the Gospel both gave examples of how important it is to stay strong in the face of temptation. It’s easy to give up, blame other people, and let your house be divided. Stay strong, trust in the Lord, and remember: “this momentary light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory”! #mymasstakeaway #mysundaybest

Marriage takes three - you, your spouse, and God. We are always amazed at the ways God works in our marriage when we invite Him in! He wants to be part of everything - the good moments, the bad moments, and all of the ones in between.
