The notes don’t do it justice, but Ed & Lisa’s opening session of the Creative Marriage conference launched this weekend in their own creative way. They spoke while putting together a huge flower arrangement and talked about the colors of the flowers as symbols of marriage. Here are a few of the best thoughts:
- Ruthlessly remove roadblocks to a strong marriage.
- It’s worth all the work it takes to get away as a couple.
- Let the kids cry a little now when you spend time as a couple so you all won’t be crying a lot in divorce court.
- "When you go to a whole ‘nother level, there’s a whole new devil."
- Marriage is more for our holiness than for our happiness.
- The weekly cycle of the pastor’s life: Preparation, Presentation, Depression (It’s in the aftermath that we’re most vulnerable to temptation)
- And then there was this: Business Time
They also presented the 10 Commandments of Purity that I’ll post sometime this weekend.
