Core 4 Habits

God’s way for marriage might not be easy to live out, but it’s easier to understand. God gives us only a few verses on marriage. We believe He did that on purpose. From these verses come the Core 4 Habits.

1. Have Serious Fun

Having fun as a couple is not optional; it’s
essential. We believe the best way to protect
your marriage is to enjoy it regularly.
(Proverbs 5:18)

2. Respect and Love

Of the few verses God gives to husbands and
wives, the directive to respect and love is
commanded more than any other. This truth
can set us free when we understand the
interplay of respect and love.
(Ephesians 5:21-33)

3. Love God First

When Jesus was asked about the greatest
commandment, His answer was to love God
with all you are and to love others as well as
you love yourself. Loving God in your
individual life greatly impacts your married
life. (Matthew 22:37-40)

4. Practice Your Promise

Our spouses trusted that we would do what
we promised when we said, “I do”—to love
each other and to stay together no matter
what. Knowing and experiencing a lasting
commitment is vital to every marriage.
(Proverbs 5:18; Malachi 2:15)
