Not that the marriage can take a back seat, because I know that my relationship with my husband is the primary earthly priority as far as relationships go. Especially when things are hard, Hubby and I need to be looking up.

Barrett's superb book "The Left Hand of God", the sections are indeed called: "A Man"; "A woman"; "...and God".<br /><br />I'm so glad your husband has been a tower of faith in whose strength you can rest. That is so important, and really one of the prime functions of marriage as a sacrament.<br /><br />I hope that your path through your present trails will be made smoother by the arms of faith in which you can rest, and God's unstinting love for you.<br /><br />You're in my prayers - have a wonderful weekend1<br />Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13230537202427640540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095822388315899381.post-6098906940340740062014-11-07T09:41:56.864-08:002014-11-07T09:41:56.864-08:00Yes, it is so important in marriage to keep our vi...Yes, it is so important in marriage to keep our vision focused upward on Him! I've always heard that there need to be three people in a marriage for it to be successful -- husband, wife, and most importantly, God. He is the glue that holds marriages together when things get difficult. I've been going through a very difficult season in my life and my personal faith has been shaken a lot through it. I don't know what I would do if God was not in the center of our marriage because I have leaned on my husband's faith a lot (and his faith has been an encouragement to me through my weakness of faith) during all of this. Our mutual faith is one reason why we have our second daughter and she is a HUGE blessing to our lives! Excellent post! Stopping by from the FMF party!
