Where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God.
—Ruth 1:16
TODAY’S DARE
Tell your wife that you want to renew your vows but not in a wedding re-do. Set aside some time after the kids have gone to bed or whatever and sit down together and write out a renewal of your vows. And place them in your home. You can print them beautifully and frame them or just put them somewhere that you and your wife will see them regularly. Make it a living testament to the value of marriage in God’s eyes and the high honor of being one with your wife.
It may be appropriate to make arrangements to formally recite them before a minister. Don't plan a wedding, spend all that money and require your family and friends to come to an event. Just meet with a minister and recommit to one another.
For example, if you've been married many years, restating your vows in front of a minister would have great value. I've had couples do that right in my office with me.
Or if your marriage has had a rough go of it the past few years, that's an even greater reason to formally renew your vows. If your kids have witnessed you trying to kill your marriage, by all means, they should hear you and your wife renew the covenant.
Today is Day 40 - we're officially done. But come back again tomorrow because I have a wrap up message I want to share with you.
