Fireproof Day 14

This week's Love Dare Challenge
It's good to remember...

Do you remember your vows? Did they mean to you then what they mean to you today? That's why it's good to renew them after that "romance" stage is not what it used to be and you've entered into one of the other stages of marriage. (For a complete understanding of the stages of marriage, you can get the entire sermon online Tuesday.) A great way to rebuild your relationship is to plan a special time for just the two of you and use these simple vows below for a time of renewal of your marriage covenant.

COUPLES:
SOMETIME THIS WEEK, RENEW YOUR VOWS TO EACH OTHER.

I, _________, take you __________ to be my wife/husband.
To have and to hold from this day forward,
For better, for worse,
For richer, for poorer,
In sickness and in health.
To love and cherish as long as we both shall live.

After renewing your vows together, spend a few minutes praying together about your marriage.

SINGLES:
PICK OUT A SKILL TO WORK ON:
1. AFFIRMING DIFFERENCES IN MEMBERS OF THE OPPOSITE SEX
2. FORGIVING (We'll have a chance to go deeper with this in two weeks.)
3. DECIDING TO LOVE AND KEEP ON LOVING A CLOSE FRIEND.

Until tomorrow,

Pastor Steve
