Hi Friend, When a couple gets married, there’s a common set of phrases they tend to hear. In sickness and in health. For richer, for poorer. For better or worse. While those phrases are familiar, they often make couples feel like marriage is an either/or proposition. We’re either rich or poor. Sick or healthy. Better or worse. But is that always the case? What about those in-between times? Those times you and your spouse are OK? Do you always have to be “better” or “worse”? Can you just enjoy the journey together and find happiness in day-to-day living? Now, I know what you’re thinking, “Being happy isn’t the point of marriage.” But God put you and your spouse on a journey together. In Proverbs 5:19 He tells us to “be intoxicated always in … love.” Happiness enriches our day-to-day and grows from the small moments – the in-between times. Marital happiness isn’t dependent on the big surprises or best vacations, just as it’s not smothered by the hard seasons that inevitably arise. It is a gift the Lord gives couples to carry a lifetime. You may feel anything but happy with your marriage. Maybe you’re yearning for simpler times when everything seemed lighter. You’re in the right place. We’ve produced a FREE series of short videos called “Simple Habits for Marital Happiness” featuring Dr. Randy Schroeder, an expert in the field of marriage counseling and happy couples. We’ve compiled his recent interviews in the Focus on the Family broadcast studio to share practical insights for married couples who want to bring happiness back. Each video in this series also includes discussion questions and links to additional resources. So, what are you waiting for? The “Simple Habits for Marital Happiness” video series is FREE, and you can sign up right now by clicking on the button below. May God bless you and your spouse with happiness. Greg Smalley
