Disillusioned, dissatisfied with your marriage and your spouse?

Wipe the Slate.
You must forget your failures, your failures and the failures of others.

Does your marriage have a purpose?
Because marriage was created by God, He alone defines its purpose.
Pray for God to do something special in your marriage and in your family.
Ask Him to prepare your heart to grow,
and to give you and your spouse the grace to be the woman or man He created you to be.

We have often bought into the word's short sighted, half hearted, self centered vision of what marriage is all about.
The end result has been an increased focus on our own personal happiness,
while missing God's grand purpose for our marriage.
Why did you get married?
Why are you still married?
We had little to no theological understanding of God's purposes for the family.
Amazing! 
God created the family as the fundamental institution upon which all human life and civilization rest,
and yet we never gave it serious theological thought.
May God give you (us) a passionate, compelling, unifying mission and purpose for our family.
Far too many of us settle for a good marriage,
God has an extraordinary purpose and plan for your marriage.
God can replace our everyday marriage with a visionary marriage. 

Thank You for my marriage.
With all of our joys,
and with all of our problems,
thank You.
I don't want to build our marriage without a foundation.
I realize there may be major areas of my mind,heart, and life 
You need to change before I can be the spouse You created me to be
I realize that examining the foundation of our marriage may be messy.
Free us from fear.
Open our hearts, to Your purpose for our family. Amen.      -Visionary Marriage
