Recession-Proof Your Marriage

Home prices have fallen, but your love and marriage don’t have to fluctuate negatively with market downs. Remember that in God’s economy things are different. Loss is gain. The weak are made strong. (See Isaiah 40:29 and 2 Corinthians 12:9.)  When you and your spouse choose to take stock in God’s word, you’ll experience new mercy and the benevolent dividends that it provides.

Your greatest assets are your relationships with the Lord and with the loved ones that he has given to you. No matter what economic season the world is in, you are hedged in heaven’s care.

"Could this be real," I asked myself? "Am I really engaged?" I quickly lifted my left hand up and stared dreamily down at my ring finger, which was now adorned with a pure and gleaming piece of ice. Just then, the phone rang. I jumped up and ran to get it. Maybe it was Arnie! Or if it's not him, then surely it would be some admiring listener who I could tell the romantic story of our engagement to.
