From Mrs. Rhodes
After the Superbowl is over this Sunday, much of the advertising that we see will have to do with Valentine's Day. February 14 we remember St. Valentine. While St. Valentine is widely associated with love and friendship, his true story is one of sacrificial love and courage in spreading the faith. As a priest in the early Church, he secretly married Christian couples and was eventually martyred for his faith.
Someone shared with me recently The Best Marriage Questions we Ask Every Week from nancyray.com, which online she gives credit to the Navigator's Council. The questions for the married couple to discuss are: What brought you joy this week? What was something that was hard this week? What's one specific thing I can do for you this week? How can I pray for you this week? Is there anything that's been left unspoken or unsaid? What a dream, desire or thought that's been on the forefront of your mind this week? Then end in prayer.
I used to say to my young children that my husband and I need to go on dates because they were going to move out and I still needed to like their dad. I wish we would have been wise enough to have conversations like this. The good news is that eventually we did find our way to working on our marriage through small groups and events. To be like St. Valentine and spread the faith, we need to start in our domestic church.
Strength in Surrender,
Kathy Rhodes
