In the first part of this series, I established that marriage is a gift that we ought to be grateful for. We looked at why we must not only appreciate our gift, but appreciate our spouse too. I also shared five things we should be doing to show our appreciation to our […]
Over the next six months, I will be meditating on marriage, with a post a week about what marriage means, how we should approach marriage and deal with challenges that arise in marriage, using the 26 letters of the alphabet as a guide – as well as building […]
