Does the world know you're in love?

The divorce rate is steadily rising and what's worse is the divorce rate within the Christian community is almost as high as the secular world. How are Christian marriages supposed to show an example of God's love for the church if we are not exhibiting that love in our homes? Does the world know you love your spouse? When others see you and your spouse, does it make them want a marriage like yours? Or do they think it is better to stay single? Maybe you and your spouse don't care what the world thinks about your marriage. Or maybe you put up a good front in public to make people believe that you're happy and behind closed doors you aren't even speaking. However, you can only play act for so long and your actions will show your real happiness. 

Now do I expect for you and your spouse to be smiling and loving every moment of every day? Not at all. There will be some times that you will be upset with your spouse. There will be moments when you've been hurt. But don't allow your pain to fester. Resolve conflicts quickly so you don't lose that precious time. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone. Love each other today! And love each other hard. 

On June 1, 2016, El and I will start a 30 day of love photo challenge on Instagram. We hope you'll join us. The purpose is to show the world that married couples are in love. That we do love on each other and marriage is awesome. Join us by posting pictures pertaining to the theme for each day and tag your pictures using the hashtag #gulove2016 (the gu stands for God's Union). Oh, did I mention that we will be giving away cash prizes? 


Does the world know you're in love? I hope you'll take this opportunity to show them.
