Our shared faith in Jesus Christ was one of the first connections we found. We both came from very different spiritual back grounds. If I am honest, at first I thought I had the advantage and had so much to teach Garnet but over the years we have both realized there are no advantages in the family of Christ. There are different experiences and different stages but there is NO spiritual hierarchy in this family. Thus, Garnet and I have learned so much from one another because we both came to respect one anothers spiritual walk.
We talk, oh so very often, about where we are at and what we are learning, although most of our study time and prayer time is done individually. We are so good at challenging one another and encouraging one another in our faith. There are many benefits to husbands and wives being really open to one another about their transforming process in Christ. We both reflect different parts of one God and so we have a stronger faith together.
What do I put my faith in? Oh many things everyday but most of all my faith is in Christ and that trickles down and affects all aspects of my life. With his firm foundation I find endless hope for the best in my marriage, in my family and in the Body of Christ that we are all members of.

If the church was only so wise to respect each others walk….It makes me sad how often pride gets in the way. I and the rest of the church need to better learn respect
I loved this…
“There are different experiences and different stages but there is NO spiritual hierarchy in this family. Thus, Garnet and I have learned so much from one another because we both came to respect one anothers spiritual walk.”
So essential to keep harmony in a marriage! We all express our faith so differently. You are wise to acknowledge and accept that in your marriage.
As always, thanks for joining us for Marriage Monday today Mac an Rothaich.
