INTRODUCTION
Our world is in jeopardy. While your home may be a wonderful,
uplifting place to live and raise children, statistics tell us if
that's true, you are in the vast minority of homes in America.
While we may worry about our 401K's and job security, thousands,
millions of homes are being shattered every day by divorce and
strife and the incredible, obvious affect this disease in America is
having on adults and children alike.
According to a recent article published by the
Americans for
Divorce Reform, the separation of a couple results in nothing
positive. There has never been a study about divorce that
concludes there has ever been a positive result from such a
decision. Then, how has divorce become the norm in America
rather than an oddity? Have we lost the ability to make a
commitment and keep it? Perhaps, however, your marriage is not
in trouble, just seemingly stagnant or standing still, maybe lacking
in direction. If so, read on.
One reason I believe marriage is often difficult today, we are in
such a hurry to start our life together. We quickly engage
steps 4,5,& 6 of a marriage, and never return to solidify steps
1,2,& 3. These initial steps involve taking time to set our
course in marriage, to articulate our desires and plans, to align
our marriage with each other and the Creator of the concept, Jesus
Christ. It's never too late. How would you answer the following
question?
"If God had his way
in our marriage, in our home,
in our future, what would it look like?"
Far too often
retreats, resources and materials address marriage solely from a
"how to" standpoint, addressing what turns out to be symptoms of a
"lack of vision" and direction rather than meeting us at our true
need.
INTENTIONALLY HIS is a couple's
intensive in discerning, discussing and articulating God's vision
for your marriage in such a way that all other conversations, plans
and dreams have a center focus.
If asked about
the future of your marriage, your relationship, your
friendships, your kids, would you and your spouse share the same
vision?
If your kids were
asked about the boundaries, the expectations and values you
desire in your home, would they be able to articulate these
concepts clearly based on your leadership.
What would it be
like to have these ideas discovered and articulated on paper to
refer back to when the pace of life seems to run your world?
Can you
articulate precisely the vision each of your children and your
spouse have for themselves, or are they expected to live out
your vision for them?
