Recapturing the mystery of marriage
How does one keep the excitement and mystery of marriage alive? If the answer to that question were obvious, then there’d be a lot fewer marriage counselors and divorce attorneys. But however difficult it may seem to keep the “spark” alive many years into a marriage relationship, it’s important to work at it–not just to keep your own marriage happy, but because the way you relate to your spouse influences the way that others in your community–especially kids–think about their own relationships.
So where should you begin? A recent article at Youth Specialties [PDF format] makes the case for re-discovering the mystery of marriage. It’s geared toward married church leaders and youth ministers, but is worthwhile reading for anyone who’s married, whether you’re 10, 30, or 50 years into marriage!
