This week, I thought I would do a "series" called "Foundation of Marriage." The purpose is to cover some basic concepts to build your marriage upon. A marriage is a lot like a house, it needs a firm, solid foundation to then build a stable house that will weather the storms, time, and trials of life. Don't let anyone fool you - marriage is going to have it's trials, problems, difficulties, and hard times no matter how perfect of a match you and your spouse are. Giving yourself a firm foundation helps you to weather those experiences. My actual house burned down when I was 10 years old. It was devastating and so difficult, but you know what I think was so interesting? Even though the house was completely burned to the ground, the foundation remained. Marriage can be very similar - it may get burned to the ground, but that foundation will be there for you to rebuild upon.
So, what are these concepts then? There are 3 of them:
- Attitude
- No Escape Clause
- Fighting Fair
