"WOW"!  That pretty much sums up this past Sunday.  Thanks to all of you who volunteer.  We were able to welcome over 100 first time guests and even had to open up a 3rd theater as an overflow room!!!

Here is a recap of our "Marriage Myths" talk:

Myth #1: Marriage CHANGES people.
Truth: Marriage REVEALS WHAT'S ALREADY IN PEOPLE!

This is because marriage is the first time in our life that we experience real stress, pressure or responsibility.  We find things in ourselves that we don't like and think marriage changed us.  No it didn't.  It just revealed what was in us all along.


Myth #2: The grass is greener ON THE OTHER SIDE.
Truth: The grass is greener WHERE YOU WATER IT!

What are you doing to water your marriage?  What kind of time and attention are you giving it?  Are you going on dates?  Do you occasionally read a book on marriage?  Are you connecting w/ your spouse regularly?


Myth #3: LOVE is a lot of work.
Truth: STAYING IN LOVE is a lot of work.

Love is easy.  That's why so many people fall in love.  Staying in love is a challenge.  Jesus addressed this challenge by helping us understand that love is supposed to be demonstrated through action (John 13:34).  Love is not a noun.  It's a verb.  How are you actively showing love in your marriage?
