Hey, 1122 family. Welcome back to relate. We are in week eight of Song of Solomon talking about maturing in love. Last week we talked all about how to fight and we had a professional family and marriage counselor Rebecca Maxwell here, and she gave some incredibly

helpful and practical advice on how you and your spouse can fight in the most honoring way.

If you missed it, I highly encourage you to go back and view it.

All right, back to this week, maturing and love, we have some very special guests with us today,

Rusty and Amy Pritchett.

Rusty serves as an elder over our church, and together they make

a dynamic duo as a marriage. I'm so excited to get to hear from them today. Before we dive in,

we like to break the ice a bit with a little warm-up question. So in front of you, you have a piece

of paper and a marker. You are going to answer this question secretly without your spouse,

seeing what you write, and you can't deliberate with one another, okay? So here's the question. What is your favorite memory you have with your spouse? What is your favorite memory you have with your spouse? And while we give them a moment to think, check out this short clip from Pastor Joby's sermon on maturing in love this week.

So here's the point. Your love can grow old or you can grow old together in love.

It's your call. It's your call. You see, again, your marriage, our marriages are a picture of God's covenant love for us that god continuously loves us

that god at great expense to himself does whatever it takes to rescue us and redeem us and chase us down

and pursue us and that's how we're supposed to love one another all right we're back and while

we're away watching the clip our lovely guests we're writing down what their favorite memory they have with their spouse is.

So we will start down at this end.

Elder Rusty, what did you write as your favorite memory with your spouse?

I just picked one.

There's a lot, but all of them I couldn't really talk about here.

Okay. So it was a lunch after

our first date when I saw, we both grew up in Gainesville, but we had met the night

before at the Honky Tonk for the first time. So I invited to lunch the next day.
