| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, this is Francie on the Heaven and Your Home podcast. Thanks so much for joining me today. Today we're |
| 0:12.1 | going to talk about how to intentionally sow good seeds into your marriage and the most dangerous |
| 0:18.9 | assumption that we can make in our marriage. Before we jump |
| 0:22.4 | into that, I'm going to pray. Father, thank you so much for the truth of your word that when we |
| 0:28.0 | plant good seeds, we get a good harvest and that you're not mocked in that system, that that's how |
| 0:33.7 | you work. That's how you've ordered the universe, the natural world, and the relational |
| 0:38.5 | world, that when we sow into things in a spirit-led way, we reap the gifts and the things of your |
| 0:45.4 | love and your spirit. And so we pray, Father, for wisdom to know how to plant good seeds intentionally |

| 1:18.2 | In Jesus' name, amen. |
| 1:20.2 | Okay, friends, here is a thought for you. |
| 1:22.8 | One of the most dangerous assumptions that we can make in our marriage is that just because |
| 1:26.7 | we're good people, |
| 1:27.7 | we'll have a good marriage, and that a good marriage just kind of happens. I'll tell you what |
| 1:33.2 | just kind of happens. The drift, the daily drift just kind of happens in marriage if we don't |
| 1:39.0 | intentionally put a stake in the ground and say, hey, this is the marriage that I want and I'm going to work for it. |
| 1:46.9 | Let's do it together. This is the marriage that I believe God dreams for us. A marriage of abundance, |
| 1:52.3 | a marriage where we have a thin place where heaven and earth are overlapping and intersecting. |
