CCF'S SURVIVAL GUIDE- Thursday 7/29/04
Good, bad or mediocre?
"...let us think about each other and...show love..." Hebrews 10 : 24 (NCV)
There are few things better than a good marriage, or worse than a bad one. Sadly, most fall into the
in-between category - just mediocre. Why? Often simply because they've gone too long without maintenance and repairs. If you are married where does your marriage on that scale? Has it quietly fashioned itself into a smooth well-worn rut? Do you take each other for granted? Or, do you, like the couples that go the distance, find new ways of renewing your love and keeping the relationship fresh?

Sam Levison said, "Love at first sight is nothing special. It's when two people have been looking at each other for twenty-five years that it becomes a miracle."
"Wives, understand and support your husbands...Husbands, go all out in your love for your wives" (Eph 5:22-25 TM).
I'll close with this exhortation from Max Lucado:
I'll close with this exhortation from Max Lucado:
Someday is a snake whose tongue has mastered the talk of deception. "Someday," it hisses, "I'll take her on that cruise...we'll have time to sit and chat..." But you know the truth before I even write it, don't you? Someday never comes! Wise up! Invest the time. Send the flowers. Write the letter. Make the apology. Take the trip. Purchase the gift. Do it! The seized opportunity brings joy - the neglected one brings only regret!
