sunday's scuds (october 16, 2011)

What a Sunday at NewPointe. We got to witness a wedding (sort of). We heard an Adele song (awesome). And Dwight flat out delivered the goods on marriage. It was week one of the new series: 4 Easy Steps to Wreck Your Marriage. I couldn't keep up with all the scuds Dwight fired but I tried. Here are some of them:

• One out of every two marriages get wrecked.
  
• Divorce is devastating.
  
• Every wrecked marriage, bad marriage, or divorce could have been avoided.
• The reason marriages get wrecked: failure to align themselves with God's plan and His design.
• God's intent: No human relationship is more important than the one you have with your spouse.
• People don't get divorced because they're incompatible. They get divorced due to misplaced priorities.
  
• The glue that holds marriages together is having Jesus Christ at the center of your lives.
• When my relationship with God is weak, my marriage gets weakened.
  
• The reason marriages don't work isn't because marriage doesn't work. It's because we don't work on our marriages.
  
• It's not about chemistry. It's not about finding your soul-mate, it's about working for it!
• Don't allow your emotions to lead you to bad decisions.
  
• An affair is always wrong in God's eyes.
  
• Can you trust your spouse with EVERYTHING? If you can't then you have problems.
  

This series is already having a huge impact on me. Causing great conversations at home. Making me want to be a better husband. Part two this Sunday. Hope to see you there!
