Where are you with your marriage? It’s a hard question because a marriage is a moving target. It involves two people and often a whole family. The persons involved are a mix of attitudes, emotions, and actions that aren’t easily fixed. And just as important is the question, “To what should I be comparing my marriage?”
The people at Family Life Today have very simple and helpful resources on marriage and parenting. Some of their articles are particularly good and very worthy of your time. One of my favorite is from founder Dennis Rainey. It’s called Forty Lessons from Forty Years of Marriage. It’s a bit longer (he is, after all, distilling lessons from 40 years of marriage) but would fit that category of “worthy of your time”. If you have a vacation or some other disposable time coming up, print yourself a copy and see if it can’t could spur some reflection on your own marriage.
Check it out. It may help you know better where you are and certainly where you would like to be.
