So I’m a relatively new dad. I have a beautiful two year old whom my wife and I love and adore more than anything in this world. And that’s the problem sometimes.

Like all things, if left to its own devices, there is going to be a natural deterioration and marriage (especially romance) is no different. There are, however, ways to fight for your marriage and ensure that the flame never dies, and I’m going to speak to a few of those in this two part series…

Do you ever hear voices in your head? Those subtle but significant whispers can often act as the rudder of your martial ship if you allow them to. A lot of times in a marriage, these voices have a strong marital influence, and you don’t even realize that they are there. In fact, if you don’t pay attention, you won’t even realize whose voices they are… and this can be extremely dangerous. Although if you have the right voices, then you could never be in a better spot marriage-wise. So what voices are we talking about and how do we determine who gets a say?

You remember those WWJD bracelets? Well I am not saying go out and buy one, but burn that into your mind and make that your mantra when it comes to making decisions as a husband. Just remember: it’s not about you. That simple shift will revolutionize the way you view your marriage and role in it. Jesus was a servant king. He did not come to be served, but to serve and give His life.[1] That is the call of a husband to his wife. It’s not about you.
The crazy thing is that it isn’t about your wife either. It’s all about Jesus.

Have you ever asked people what they think the purpose of marriage is? You may be surprised at what kind of answers you get. Look it up on a google search and you find all kinds of answers: “tax breaks”, “to raise a family”, “stability”, and “to keep divorce attorneys making triple digits” are just a few of the answers you will actually find! One (legitimate) survey was done by the Pew Research Center in July of 2007 that polled over 2,000 random selected participants in the United States and asked them a series of questions about marriage. Do you know what the #1 answer was for what these randomly selected people was when they asked what the purpose of marriage was?

Babe Ruth is a legend. He has hit more home runs than anyone else in history behind Hank Aaron and Barry Bonds*. All three players are notorious for slamming balls out of the park… but are just as notorious for striking out. They are 1, 2, and 3 all-time for HRs, but are also ranked 44, 87, and 104 as all time strike-out leaders. Fact: When you swing for the fences all the time, you are going to strike out more often. Anyone who plays baseball knows that a player who can consistently get on base is better for the team than a player who hits the occasional home run. The same principle is true in marriage: a husband that intentionally makes small, daily deposits in his marriage does more for his marriage than the husband who sweeps his wife off her feet with epically romantic get-aways twice a year… yet neglects the day to day investments. With that in mind, here are 10 ways to get on base that you can do this week:
