We invite you to build a team, of two unique people, coming together to see God’s purposes in your family!

Now it's Your Turn to Apply it!
Application #1
Go to bed together. This week, no matter how crazy the schedule is, try and go to bed together. When she (or he) starts brushing their teeth, you go too. When their head hits the pillow, don’t let yours be far behind. Watch how something this small creates unity in your marriage.
If you are single, spend time with God before bed each night. Ask Him to remind you of your identity as a beloved son or daughter. Spend extra minutes with Him to fuel you for the next day.
Application #2
Practice telling yourself these three powerful words:
“Let. It. Go.”
Whenever your spouse does something annoying, try to let it go. Choose unity over preference and see what happens.
