Never Just Married

Life can be hard
Marriage can be hard
Raising these kids can be hard
Serving the Lord can be hard
Owning a business can be hard
Ministry can be hard

But those hards make us more

Resilient
Flexible
Prioritize
Problem solve
Communicate
Appreciate
Shows gratitude
Growth

& much more...

This weekend my husband and I hosted a beautiful marriage event for Never Just Married couples!

We had such an amazing time together in the Lord....

Our theme was t-WIN with your spouse & I wrote it that way to see if they got a hint that there was a prize involved for best couple who twinned the best... I threw many clues out... and everything planned was INTENTIONAL!

Matt Cooley & Faustina Emma Cooley won the prize for best twinned couple!!!! She even braided her hair to match his dreads!!!! Lol!

I'll be posting more funny moments 😄
Everyone did such a great job, we had a blast! ♥️

Most importantly God was honored & people who didn't know the Lord before this event are hungry, thirsty & searching...they wanna know know who is this God that we speak of! Ultimately THAT'S the goal! Strengthening marriages, families, & leaving people thirsty for Christ & ALL FOR HIS GLORY & HONOR!!!!!

Such great feedback since Saturday & I pray the Lord was pleased! What people don't see is the BTS ...trust & believe the atmosphere was set before any feet stepped foot in our yard! 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶

Next week we celebrate the day that God made us One Flesh! I love you & choose you over & over again!

Our marriage is imperfect, but our love is solid!

We continue to say yes yes yes even when our feelings try and take over and say otherwise!

A man in love is in constant pursuit. His every action is directed toward what - or whom - he loves most.

Watch a man's pursuit, see what he really loves.

As a husband, I have vowed to pursue my bride above all else (besides Jesus). How can I possibly do that? I'm far from perfect, but here are a few ways I'm learning to love Selena well.

1) Give her my time.
For Selena, quality time is her top love language, so I must become fluent in speaking it. Whenever possible, I try to carve out extra time for us to be together. This means some other things I want to do get axed, but the reward is well worth it.

2) Give her my attention
It's one thing to be in the same room, it's another to be present together. I'm learning to engage with her and our little girls emotionally...mentally. There's no substitute for the focused attention a husband/father can give is family, and only I can give it to them.

3) Give her my affection.
Too much time passes between hugs and "I love yous" if I don't make a conscious effort. I'm learning to tell her I love her as much as I think it, and I'm learning to give her physical affection that she enjoys (not just the kind that leads to s*x): tender touches, thoughtfully grabbing her hand when in public, and hugging casually without pretense or expectation.

Notice how every one of these ways starts with the word "give". That's love. Love is generously giving of yourself to another without demanding anything in return. Do I receive love back from Selena? Of course! But love doesn't demand it.

That's exactly the love Christ gives us: free of strings, beyond measure. Oh that I may understand more deeply the love of Christ on the cross so that I can love and pursue my wife as well as I am called (Eph 5). Stay fierce, men. -Ryan

Catch this married folks! Tag your spouse!!!


Wives need love as much as they need air to breathe

And the man needs respect which is their air to breathe

This post is so real and so raw! I love it because we all have our different love stories!

This one is a true depiction of how GOD CAN if you INVOLVE God!

Keep God first, press through the pain, press through the I don't wanna (but I already committed), fight on your knees even if it's alone, pray for your spouse, speak to godly counsel, show one another the God in YOU!

Feelings are fickle- Marriage works when you work it!

I'm so proud of this couple!

God gets ALL the glory!

Cecilia shared:
Lord knows we do not have a romantic story of how we met and how things were oh so perfect and how we've waited all our life for each other. Nope, in fact what you are looking at are to very imperfect people who didn't have it all together at all. We were both very much broken. We received christ together, got baptized together, experienced God's unconditional love, forgiveness, undeserved grace and favor. We pressed through so many battles and struggles. And we made it to another level and I could have never imagined after experiencing such brokenness, anger, bitterness and resentment! BUT GOD! We have not arrived to a place of comfort nor will we ever because our strength comes from the Lord. He has been our sustainer, strength, rock, firm foundation, clarifier, counselor, teacher, and sooooo much more. Truly all glory and honor goes to the Lord almighty cause we were a mess and God has been having His way in us as we try our hardest to give Him our yes. Prayers over our union are appreciated. Because we did not just arrive here we fought to get here. Some of us had to overcome generational cycles of disfunction. Here's to generational blessings! Let's keep fighting and pressing babe! God is faithful.

Marriage is IT!!!!!!!!!!!

We love inspiring marriages to KEEP GOING

Having both been in a previous very toxic marriage, and both being engaged to someone else ...we both learned in those relationships what love truly was NOT... and made a decision to love ourselves enough to know we deserved better... we deserved real love that displayed God's love from the inside out, commitment, loyalty, respect, compromise, joy, peace, not yours or mine BUT OURS and much more

We know how hard marriage is because every day it isn't butterflies and rainbows

It's being mature enough to have those hard conversations, to be able to speak the truth in love, to listen to understand and not just respond, to trust, to commit to a YES even when our fickled feelings want to say no and to persevere through the hardest, unknown seasons of our lives and to keep God the center which is what had held this marriage together in those challenging moments

I implore the married husband's and wives to say YES, even when you are tired and want to say no!

Marriage is beautiful if you work it!

I truly love being married to my husband 💕
5 years married- going on 8 years together ...and we LOVE spending every day together

My best friend is my husband

In your marriage, who said I love you first and is there a funny story behind it or was it sweet?!

Comment below.... I'll go first

So Kenny and I were dating a few months and we were on the phone, it was probably the wee hours in the AM because we liked to talk like all night

So I heard him said real fast... I love you... I mean... and I said u what... and he said oh nothing nevermind ....and made it seem like it was a mistake...

I was like bruh ... u don't gotta front ...if u love me then say it ....

I knew I loved him but I believe I waited a few days to then tell him I loved him back! ❤

It was then when I knew he would some day be my husband .... I love this man to death!

Share your love story with us..... we would love to hear

Shout out to all the married couples who know marriage ain't easy but still say YES because they know it's worth it
