Question Three: How long have you been married? What are three valuable lessons you have learned about marriage, that you would entrust to others today? I’ve been married fifteen years.

Prioritize time with each other and be intentional and focused on connection during that time.

Question Seven: If someone were to say to you today, “I want to give up,” what would you say to encourage that individual? No one else can fill your shoes, and God wants to use you to impact someone else’s life.

And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.” What happens when we start leaning on our own understanding of what we think needs to happen, versus trusting God with the situation at- hand? Leaning on my own abilities causes way too much stress and anxiety when I can simply hand it over to God and trust Him with it.
