One Flesh

I've been away on business for the last few days and I have really missed my family. It's tough being apart. Yes, I know that some time a part can be beneficial but I really love being with them. When someone asks me about my wife and kids, I am more than ready to tell them all about them.

There is nothing like having a great marriage. I am blessed to have a godly wife that loves GOD, me, and our children. Some folks have asked me how it all works and I always tell them that if you will put GOD first, and your spouse second, everything else will fall into place. That doesn't mean there won't be issues and disagreements but, you will find a way to work through and talk through them all.

Today's word is Genesis 2:24, KJV, which reads, "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh."

I think so many marriages struggle because we allow things to come between us and our spouses, whether that be work, hobbies, even church work. Other than GOD, there is nothing or no one that should come between your spouse and you. This isn't just GOD'S desire, it is His design.

There are so many distractions and obligations that we face and must meet every single day. However, there is also the obligation to carve out time for our spouses and to enjoy one another. My prayer is that I will always be diligent and intentional about spending time with my wife. After all, we are one flesh.

Be Blessed,
