Today we're going to talk about something that I don't even think is necessary in marriage, but I think it's really fun and I think it's kind of the icing on the cake in marriage.

So this isn't a foundational principle that is like I said like necessary for a good

healthy marriage but it can be and I think what well what we are talking about today is just like that spark and that electricity and those emotions you felt when you were dating and how do you bring those feelings into a marital relationship if those feelings are something that you desire.

How do you feel butterflies when your spouse walks into the room?

So I'm really excited to talk about this with Elisha and I hope that you guys enjoy it.

Hey I'm Elisha Votberg and I'm his wife Katie and I both grew up in families that were fun impactful and relationship rich

Now that we're a family of our own with three young children under the age of three or eager to see what God can do through the family unit.

We're so excited that you're joining us on this podcast as we dive into what the Bible says

about marriage, children, parenting, money, sex, careers, roles, and so much more.

Katie, are you ready?

Let's go. Oh, uh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, you, oh, you know, Katie and Katie and I just recently were on a road trip to visit Katie's family in Central Oregon and Katie read me a

few messages that she got from some ladies that she knows from online and and it

really started a conversation yeah started a conversation between Katie and I about keeping the spark alive in our marriage and what do we what do we attribute having the spark and what do we attribute having the spark and what do we attribute losing the spark to and so it's been

really fun for Katie and I to discuss this amongst each other and to observe the

relationships that we admire and look up to and we realize that as much as keeping

the spark alive is not paramount it's not foundational and having a God honoring

marriage I don't think it's necessary.

It is so sweet to see and I think it's so fun to experience.
