Marriage and the Church

Being a newly wed isn't always filled with happiness and excitement. As I've discussed before most people say the first year is the hardest. You're learning to not be selfish and to put someone else's needs above your own. In human nature that can be difficult because we were born selfish. I took my sisters toys all the time..(Sorry sis).  It's something you have to work on when you get married because sometimes it does not come naturally.

The first thing I would suggest doing when you get married is finding a church you both feel like is your church home and that you can serve in. Once you join the church you join the young marrieds group because they have been where you were when your struggling. They can give you advice and tips on how to resolve conflict. They can also teach you how to avoid conflict.

The main reason i suggest you to join a church is without God we are nothing. We all need the God that
created us. Marriage is compared to His relationship with the church. If he is in the center of your marriage your not focusing on each other and y'all are focusing on Him. It will help your marriage drastically.

Also, when you join a young marrieds Sunday School Class, you become friends with the group. You have things in common like y'all are recently married and can go through the experiences helping each other. There is nothing wrong with having single friends, but most of the time single friends want to do single things. When you're married obviously you're not single anymore, so it's just a different life style. Having stuff in common with people is amazing and y'all can bond to become closer.

My wife and I hang out with our Sunday School Class all the time and it can be a blast!
