I now pronounce you husband and wife. . .
Some of the most exciting words you will ever hear. Seven words that change your life forever. But how does your life change? You go from being two individuals that are smitten with one another to a unit formed by God. Formerly an “item” while dating, marriage is designed to create a unity in you that transcends human affection. It is a spiritual oneness, a new family unit, a bonded future and dreams. . . Dating is a mere commitment; marriage is a covenant, which is much stronger than a commitment or even a contract. However, our sinful, selfish nature can so easily corrupt this gift. Fortunately, our selfish nature does not doom us thanks to the incredible sacrifice of Christ.
We are excited to start on this commitment to you, our readers, to bring you help, hope, laughter, and even some challenges to step up and honor the covenant you have made. We anticipate doing this through couple’s devotionals, personal thoughts, and resources that we will review and share with you among other things. We will also address and tackle some of the touchier subjects such as abuse, addictions, power struggles, and everyone’s favorite . . . sex.
On a personal note, I am excited about embarking on this with Mitch. We are not professionals, please keep that in mind, but we are passionate and are praying for God to guide us. We are planning to discuss topics separately, but also to respond to each other's posts so that you can get the “male” and “female” perspective. We are also going to forge new ground and do some vlogs (video blogs)! - Nathana
With all of this being said, we are also really excited just to build a relationship with you! We want this site and blog to be as fun and user friendly as possible. It is our desire to create an avenue for discussion, interaction, and community. So, please respond to our posts with your thoughts, ideas, and stories! We honestly hope that you will find something here that you are interested in plugging into.
I also wanted to take the chance to state that we are very excited to share advice and understanding with married couples but that doesn't mean that you've got to be hitched to read our blog. We really want to reach out to our single readers as well! We will do this through our "What's Cookin" page, some of our blog posts that will be more openly geared toward a wider audience, and book/website reviews.
So the Clays cordially invite you to the fun. We invite you to the discussion and fellowship. We invite you to inspect yourselves and your marriages along with us. Like Nathana said we are young and have only been married a little more than a year. We are not experts nor therapists. We are just married Christians in search of oneness with each other and the Lord. So join us on our journey!
