Challenge #66

Whether you decided to cut back on expenses, start saving, or tithe regularly, being a steward in your finances is important. However, monetary resources is not the only area in which we should practice stewardship. We must also practice stewardship when it comes to how we use our talents and especially how we spend our time!

Have you heard the statistics relating divorce and church attendance? Check them out for yourself here. There is an extremely strong correlation between divorce and church attendance: as church attendance goes up, the likelihood of divorce comes way down. There are also statistics that report greater marital happiness in couples who worship together, pray together, and serve together. It is safe to say that being a “committed, faithful believer makes a measurable difference in marriage!"

Don't underestimate not only the power of God, but your need for God to be central in your marriage.

For today's challenge, do something to draw you and your spouse closer to God (and thus closer to eachother). Pray together, read your bible together, find a way to serve together, watch or listen to a sermon together, discuss God's word or His plans for your lives. These are some ideas of things you can do or you can come up with your own!
