Five Lessons from the First Year of Marriage Marriage can be hard, but what good thing doesn’t take time and effort?

Saying “I do” is more than two words - it’s a promise to love and support your spouse unconditionally. But, once reality sets in, it can be a challenge to stay on track and continue pursuing a Christ-centered relationship filled with passion and purpose. This is why we’ve created the 31-Day Pursuit Challenge, a His and Her book bundle that encourages you to grow together as though you were physically exploring the map that God intended for your marriage ==> https://31daypursuit.com

This 31 day challenge will take you and your spouse on a journey to explore a love that is defined by selflessness, service, affection, friendship, and thoughtfulness - all in light of the gospel. The bundle includes two books: Wife in Pursuit and Husband in Pursuit, each filled with relatable scripture, devotional content, and questions that will prompt the two of you to have honest conversations and discover new ways of showing genuine affection. Not only that, but we have included 50 creative date ideas that will inspire you both to try new things together. Who knows, maybe you two will become the next scuba-diving masters 🙂

It’s time to pursue your spouse out of love that is fueled by how deeply and eternally you are loved in Christ. Begin the challenge today and explore love like never before ==> https://31daypursuit.com/

Good lessons for husbands from St. John Chrysostom (d. 407).

From the Catechism of the Catholic Church (para. 2365): “St. John Chrysostom suggests that young husbands should say to their wives: I have taken you in my arms, and I love you, and I prefer you to my life itself. For the present life is nothing, and my most ardent dream is to spend it with you in such a way that we may be assured of not being separated in the life reserved for us.... I place your love above all things, and nothing would be more bitter or painful to me than to be of a different mind than you." Wow!
