Second, make and take a day off. Third, designate a date night. Make sure you date your mate! Fourth, If you have to schedule sex, so be it. We have a doctor friend at our church that says, “Don’t call me after 1pm on Friday, wink wink!” If you’re too busy for sex than you are way too busy! Fifth, schedule family vacations and family days. Sixth, see your family as your Ministry Team serving God together. Seventh, when things are broken at home fix them immediately. If it doesn’t work at home then don’t export it. The condition of your marriage and family is just as much a part of your ministry assignment as leading the worship team or the children’s ministry. Keeping your balance can make or break both your marriage and your ministry! The juggling act of M M is a difficult thing to do, trust me I know! In this blog I wanted to give you a quick reference guide to navigate with. However if you re looking for your marriage to thrive and not just survive, you might want to check out our book Being happily married isn t easy - it takes alot of work, but it s worth it. At our Midweek Connection service, I taught on making deposits in your marriage both husbands and wives. If I continuously go to my bank and only make withdrawals I will quickly come to the point of not being able to make any more withdrawals, right? The same is true in our marriages. We can t just think that because we are married it s all about what we can get from our spouses. (AND I M NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT SEX GUYS). Relationships can t be one sided we both have to be willing to give to one another.
