Take Care of Your Marriage
This friend of mine had come to FamilyLife for a series of meetings. He's well aware that I'm a family author, conference speaker, and a licensed marriage and family therapist with nearly three decades of experience, but still he said to me, Take care of your marriage. I really respect him for it. None of us are immune to temptation or has a resume that will allow us to get relationally lazy. Protecting our marriage and family relationships demands diligence, intentionality, and God's wisdom.

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: Now here’s the back-story. This friend of mine had come to FamilyLife for a series of meetings about ministering to families. He’s well aware that I’m a family author, and conference speaker, and a licensed marriage and family therapist with nearly three decades of experience in working with couples and families, but still he said to me, “Take care of your marriage.” And I really respect him for it.
Look, none of us are immune to temptation or have a resume that will allow us to get relationally lazy. Protecting our marriage and family relationships demands diligence, intentionality, and God’s wisdom. So, take care. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
