The beginning of the year always excites Kira and I. Every January we always think about areas of improvement in our marriage, home and family life. We think about things we need to purge, we consider attitudes and actions that need to be cast away and we renew our spiritual commitment to the Almighty God whom we strive to serve.
As this year begins let us encourage you and your spouse to do the same. Renew your marriage and family. Consider areas of growth, challenges you may face, and all the ways you can bless each other and those around you.
Renew your willingness to extend grace to each other and your family. Forgive and let go of grudges and start with anew with each other.
Renew your dedication to praying together. Thank God for how he has blessed you and ask for His faithfulness and guidance as 2025 begins. Pray that your marriage and family will grow and be stronger at the end of the year.
Renew your intention to love. Pursue your spouse, serve your family and work hard to further develop your relationships on a daily basis.
Renew your communication. Learn to listen with empathy, speak with kindness, and talk with clarity to say what you mean and mean what you say.
Renew your faith in each other and in God. Make sure to place God as the foundation of your marriage and home. Be committed to each other and to God. Seek God’s will for you and your family.
We pray that this year brings a deeper relationship for you and your spouse. We hope you grow closer together and to God!
Renew!
