But listen to what I’m about to say because it’s a key to keeping your marriage joy giving and God honoring till death do you part.Įven when you’re married, you should never stop being “single.” What I’m talking about here is being an individual and pursuing the godly purpose and goals you have for yourself, personally. Naw, I don’t want you to get a divorce and start playing the field. Yes, you need to be single and date again. It vanished somewhere along the way when we stopped paying attention to it.ĭo you remember the normal relationship process I laid out early in the book? Singleness, then dating, then engagement, then marriage, then love and maybe children, right? Well, when you’re married, sometimes you need to go back to the beginning of the process. But we don’t want to because the relationship ain’t really there anymore. Now when I come home, I’ve got to look at you. You’re not packing lunches and driving to cheerleading practice.

Because when the kids move out, too many couples find out that the project they had in common is gone too.

Some people get married and love each other and maybe have kids, and they think that’s it.
