We are going to a marriage retreat now and for the rest of the weekend. We are going with godly couples we are friends with, couples we learn with, and couples who have marriages we admire.

Yes, we’re only nearing five months of marriage, so we don’t have any huge, crazy issues to work out. But we want to be vigilant that we don’t let any issues grow (even if they don’t seem like a big deal now).

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their work:

If one falls down,
his friend can help him up.
But pity the man who falls
and has no one to help him up!

Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?

Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
