Encourage
A spouse needs a cheerleader, not because they are guaranteed to win the game, but because they are even IN the game! Every life needs encouragement, which means something more from one who cares deeply. Without it, relationships can wither. With it, they can grow exponentially together.
When he came and had seen the grace of God, he was glad, and encouraged them all that with purpose of heart they should continue with the Lord.

Caring how things look does not make you superficial. Altering aesthetics according to taste is an age-old practice that’s been leveraged as a subtle influence even before the beginning of civilization.
When you have departed from me today, you will find two men by Rachel’s tomb in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to you, ‘The donkeys which you went to look for have been found. And now your father has ceased caring about the donkeys and is worrying about you, saying, “What shall I do about my son?”

Memorial
This is the day set aside as a memorial for all who have given the ultimate sacrifice of their life which they laid down willingly so that we might have freedom and peace today. Never forget them by daily honoring them with your thanks by the way you live.

Memorial
According to Wikepedia, 13,546,664 Americans have died in the line of duty in wars from the Revolutionary to 2019. Our flag does not wave from the wind that moves it, but from the last breath of every soldier who died to preserve and protect us all. Our thanks and honor to them is how we daily protect our Constitution.

Threefold
A husband and wife are a threefold with God as an equal partner in their marriage. One can describe it as husband and wife are in a horizontal relationship with each other while also in a vertical relationship with God and all are intertwined.
Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; But how can one be warm alone? Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Faith
Honest communication, forgiveness, overall commitment, and problem-solving are more prominent in faith based relationships when faced with conflict which leads to greater marital satisfaction and intimacy. Happy marriages also lead to lower mortality rates and increased longevity.

Foundation
Interesting statistics from Pew Research Center; 65% of women and 45% of men secretly hoped their uncommitted intimate relationship would develop into something deeper and more lasting. I suggest this is where spirituality was left out of the relationship, which is what provides for a stable foundation that brings meaning, trust and long-term fulfillment one seeks.
Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock."
