We’re Logan and Jen!

This is our last #marriagemondaychallenge regarding the theme of teamwork! In order to work better as a team, take some time this week to establish a weekly marriage meeting. Set aside one night each week to spend time together, reviewing the past week and preparing for the upcoming week. Start with prayer, share a high and a low from the previous week, and go over the calendar, plan meals, and any other practical things to make the week go smoother. 👍🏼 Do you have a weekly meeting in place already? What do you talk about?

Here’s a reminder for you today...some marriage wisdom from St. Francis de Sales on his feast day. Invite God into your marriage!

We’re Logan and Jen, two very imperfect people who thought we were super prepared for marriage....and it didn’t take long to realize WE KNEW NOTHING. 😂 We don’t have this marriage account because we have the perfect marriage. Actually, we are here because we’ve made alllll the mistakes. It is because of God and His endless mercy and grace that we are still here, still trying to figure out how to best love each other. We will never consider ourselves experts (because seriously, we argue so much still 😩), but there are a few things we wholeheartedly think are solid marriage tips and tell everyone who asks.... 1. Pray together everyday. 🙏🏼 Stop making excuses and just do it. You eat food because it keeps you alive—prayer does that for your marriage. We can’t do this marriage thing without including the One who created marriage in the first place. 2. Accept that you can’t change your spouse. 😬 We can try (and fail), but it will only breed resentment, which will destroy your marriage...and that’s exactly what the devil wants. So as hard as it is (we get it, really, we do), focus on how you can change yourself. Because let’s face it...nobody is perfect. We all have room for improvement and often it’s when we focus on changing ourselves that we start to see the change in our spouse. 3. Make the time for your marriage, even during (ESPECIALLY during) the craziest times. 💑 The term “creeping separateness” is the perfect explanation as to why it’s so important to make time for each other. So many things are vying for our attention, which makes it really easy to push our marriage to the bottom of the priority list. But it should always be at the top. God first, marriage second, and everything else will follow. 👍🏼 What marriage tip do you share with people when they ask?

When we think about teamwork in marriage (our challenge theme this month), we usually just think of a husband and wife. But there are so many heavenly friends that can join our team and pray for us! So pick a patron saint for your marriage this year. You can pick your own or use saintsnamegenerator.com (thanks @jenniferfulwiler!). The saint we picked last year, St. Raphael, ended up being so awesome that we’re still asking for his prayers everyday...but we still wanted to pick another saint to join our “team.” Check our stories or our video from earlier this month to see who we picked this year! 😁 Who is the patron saint of your marriage this year?

We had a fun visit to the zoo with our kids this afternoon, which is rare these days. With kids in school during the week and one of us working weekends, we have to take advantage of the time we do get as a family...and sometimes we have to make the time. The same goes for marriage—you have to take advantage of the time you get together...like holding hands during that family visit to the zoo. And sometimes you have to work a little harder to make time together happen at all! Yes, it’s hard to make your marriage a priority sometimes. But it’s probably a lot harder to salvage a broken relationship that didn’t get enough attention in the first place!

Our friends gave us these awesome leather couches and we wanted to get a new table and lamp to go with it. And since this week’s #marriagemondaychallenge is to work on a project together, we decided to make furniture shopping our project! So that’s what we did today. With our kids. 🤪 We documented the whole thing in our stories (and we’ll put it in our IG highlights too)...so go check it out and let us know what you think! Because we’re still not sure 😂 We’ve said it before...but we love running errands together so we can spend time together. Even though our kids made it a little crazy (okay, very crazy) it was still fun working on this little project together. 😊
