So, I'm (Fred) reading this book about family ministry strategy and I come across this concept that fits exactly where I feel Erin and I are in our marriage. The concept is: "Fight for the heart." It's a rally cry for families, mainly parents to fight to build trustworthy relationships with their children. While many parents strive to merely enforce the rules, or explain the rules, the rules don't mean much unless they are built off of a trust relationship.
Erin and I have had a great year in our marriage, but now more than ever we are going to be pushed to fight for the heart of our relationship. It has been described as a huge mistake that we are making over the next 6 months as we'll be living apart, but we know that our stubborn tenacity will help up fight for the most important thing: Us.
God has shown us that He has picked us for each other, those who know us closely know how much we balance each other out. We're past the point of trying to change one another and we're on to the point complimenting one another. We seek to be an example of what a team looks like and we're on a mission to love others and love God!
