The home was the first institution built by Almighty God. And therefore, since the home has been divinely established, the home and the marriage relationship are supreme among all human relationships.
Your relationship to your mate should come before your business. Your relationship to your mate should come before your pleasure. Your relationship to your mate should come before your friends. The Bible teaches that when one man and one woman come together at the marriage altar and consummate the marriage act, they become one flesh not to be put asunder. Marriage is not a 90-day contract or a 90-day option. It is a lifetime contract.
"I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
