Today food for thought from our Marriage Enrichment Ministry..
Talk to your spouse about one way you can simplify your life together. Less noise. More presence. More of what matters.
What takes up a lot of our time or energy but adds very little to our life?
What do we wish we had more time to do together?
Is there anything on our calendar we could say “no” to or do less often?
What regularly distracts us from being present with each other?
What could we remove, delegate, or simplify to create more margin for each other?
GO DEEPER:
Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed — or indeed only one."
— Luke 10:41-42
We live in a culture of more.
More activities.
More commitments.
More information.
More options.
More noise.
The result is marriages drowning in busyness while starving for connection.
Jesus looked at Martha and said the same thing I tell couples every week: you're worried about many things, yet only one thing is needed.
Your marriage doesn't need more strategies, more self help books, or more couples' retreats. It needs more of this: presence with each other and presence with God.
Jackie and I have simplified our lives intentionally. We've said no to things the world says are important so we can say yes to what God says matters.
The noise of culture will consume your marriage if you let it. Choose the one thing. Sit at the feet of Jesus together.
Everything else flows from there.
