Love is Accountable
One of the incredible things about some types of trees is the network of their roots. The mighty sequoias are some of the most famous living organisms to visit and see. Our eyes gaze on what we see before us, but what's beneath the surface is the most important thing. These large trees survive the elements for years because of their interlocking network of roots with the trees surrounding them.
One of the key elements to a successful marriage is being connected to other Christians. We need mentors and like-minded accountability partners. When a couple faces difficulties alone, they're at a significant disadvantage. However, when a couple can rely on solid, Biblically-based counseling and encouragement, the chances of surviving through those tough times are exponentially increased.
Find an older couple who are Christ-centered and who are willing to invest in your lives as marriage mentors. Find at least one other couple who are similar in age who can stand shoulder to shoulder with you through life's situations. Having these kinds of relationships will ensure that your marriage has a strong network so that you can brave the elements for years to come.
