Thanking God for Third-Stage Moments | 5-Minute Friday
Leaving a church that you love and the church family you have come to know and love is always hard. But then maybe it should be.

We’ve all been there. Maybe you’re there right now. You’re going through a trial yet God seems nowhere to be found. And you find yourself wondering why.
You believe His promise to never leave you or forsake you. You believe God answers prayers. But … silence.

Communication or the lack thereof is a problem in many relationships. How about yours? Do you ever feel like you talk to friends and family, even your spouse, but just aren’t sure you’re being heard? Do you feel you’re frequently misunderstood and when you keep trying it only leads to an argument? You’re not alone. But the answer isn’t getting angry, talking louder, or clamming up. What can we do instead?
And from our sister website …
We all want intimacy in our marriages, what the Bible calls a one-flesh relationship. We want our spouses to spend time with us, consult us about decisions, share our hopes and dreams, encourage us when we’re struggling, treat us kindly, and for there to be openness and humility. But are there things we should do or not do if we’re to achieve that kind of one-flesh marriage? And, if so, what are they?
We’ve been discussing the three components of marriage God laid out in Genesis 2.24 and other places in Scripture: leaving, cleaving, and what we’re calling “weaving,” growing in a one-flesh relationship. In the last post, we started talking about “weaving” and today we’re going to go a little deeper on the subject.
