The German pastor, Dietrich Bonhoffer, speaking to a young couple said,

You think it is your love that will cause your marriage to grow?

You're wrong. It is your marriage that will allow your love to be sustained.

You know, falling in love is great, but it's commitment, it's communication,

it's God's dream, and practicing what He's given us is what makes for a marriage

that lasts, that's rich, that's deep, and you can have that.

Today, we'll learn how. Stay with me.
