Day 5: The Front Burner
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
— Matthew 6:21
Do you remember why you got married?

When Jesus walked this earth, spending time with His Father was a high priority. He often pulled away from others’ demands just to be with God. It’s an inspiring pattern for marriage.
After your relationship with God, the most important connection you have is with each other. What other demands and activities are crowding your marriage?
