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.
