The Power of Shared History in Marriage

One of the richest gifts you can share with your spouse isn’t material at all; it’s the story you’re writing together. From adventures and family milestones to challenges and crises, your shared history becomes the glue that binds you as “US.”

Dr. Dave & Donalyn Currie remind us that these memories, both the joyful and the difficult, are what make your marriage uniquely yours. The more you intentionally build, remember, and celebrate your shared history, the deeper your connection will grow.

Practical tip: Set aside time with your spouse to reflect on your journey, share highlights, revisit old photos, or reminisce about milestones. Each memory is a building block of intimacy.

Raising kids in a digital world is no small task.

Between social media, YouTube, and constant online access, technology is shaping our children’s mental health and faith more than ever before.

Here are a few reminders for navigating it wisely:

• Set clear screen-time boundaries & protect family time
• Have ongoing, honest conversations about online dangers
• Integrate faith into tech (Bible apps, worship, online discipleship tools)
• Model healthy tech habits yourself — kids copy what they see
• Stay prayerful & proactive, not panicked

Remember: our goal isn’t to remove technology… but to teach our kids how to use it with wisdom, safety, and faith.
