- “Meet your in-laws first. (I eloped before I met my in-laws, and it created quite a bit of discord.)” ~Becky Wheeler Guinn
- “Never, ever allow the word ‘divorce’ to be spoken aloud, and control the tongue during arguments. It’s hard to take back the ‘ugly’ stuff spoken.” ~Kim Shaw

- “Never, ever stop trusting that God is in charge. And keep talking to each other.” ~Becky Jacoby

What are your tips?
That first one is so key. Having a godly couple you can look up to and learn from is so helpful. An accountability couple is also a great help.
Yes! Even if you don’t go for counseling regularly, find a couple to “watch” and model your marriage after!
Everyone of those statements are awesome and true.. great job at putting them together.
God Bless
