Better Together

Okay, Nick and I did the unthinkable.  We got matching shirts. 

(imagine me covering my eyes, peeking at the words I just wrote through splayed fingers, and giggling)

The shirts are for a wonderful idea-Better Together-supporting non-profits working TOGETHER to make a difference in this city.  It is up to us to work together to make this a better City for the families that call it home.

I'm also basking in post-anniversary love so, I want to write about the other reason we love these matching shirts.  We believe that married couples are truly "Better Together."  With the divorce rate so rampant, we have decided to take a stand against broken families and marriages. It makes our hearts sick when we hear of another friend or family member choosing to break their promise.  I want to ask, do you not know how many are affected by the choice they are making?  How their marriage is another stat for an unsuccessful union?  How much this choice is going to affect their children for the rest of their lives?  I could go on and on about this and don't even think about getting Nico started!

Just know this, if you are married, ask God to be at the forefront of your marriage making a way when it seems like there is none.  Hold tight to the one you love.  Remember what brought you together in the first place. Pray for your spouse-daily!  And last but not least, when the going gets tough, remember, YOUR BETTER TOGETHER!
