                                          MARRIAGE MINUTE
Since Easter, we’ve been hearing about the rapid growth of the early Church, mostly due to the
example of the Christians, whose lives were radically different than those around them. In short,
they heeded Jesus’ commandment to “love one another.” We can courageously be “different” in
our marriages by:
• Prioritizing our marriage by attending marriage retreats and workshops
• Not criticizing or “venting” about our spouse to others
• Being humble enough to apologize when we’re wrong
• Learning to share faith and prayer with our spouse
These types of behaviors can take sacrifice—of time or our comfort. But by acting differently, we
build a different kind of marriage: one filled with deep respect, passionate romance and unbridled
joy! Equip your marriage this June with Every Day in Love. www.archkck.org/everyday
