While this was a general statement, even if divorce isn’t the end result, it does have the potential to wear on marriages over time. If spouses don’t make a concerted effort to cultivate intimacy, their relationship will suffer to some degree. This is something I’ve wrestled with ever since that conference: If I intended to spend so much of my good time and energy away from my spouse, why did I get married in the first place?
So why now? Why the hiatus? Although we started Your Covenant Story back in 2017 and spent a couple years building its foundation, in 2020 God thought it necessary to take us on an adventure that seemed like a tangent. (But we know better.) I’ve spent the past five years receiving an on-the-job, small business education within the incredibly dynamic logistics industry, meanwhile being blessed with three vibrant children. Certainly, both contexts have matured us (and continue to) in ways we have yet to fully appreciate. That season is coming to a close and now we face an open canvas ahead - yet we strive to hold fast to God’s calling. Storytelling is something we enjoy (sharing and receiving) and film provides an outlet that transcends content. But marriage, and the wedding in particular, are beautiful pictures – indeed, the ultimate one! – of God’s love. In fact, this divine institution was designed to serve as the primary metaphor throughout His story to help us understand His relationship with us. We received such an outpouring of love from others early on in our marriage, so we felt this venture offered a unique opportunity to use both our gifts and share that love with you.
