Marriage is an illustration of Christ & the church.
We are meant to take a sabbath from our work to have time with God.
Translate into marriage: We are meant to take a sabbath from our work and have time with our spouse.
If you don't take a sabbath with your spouse, your relationship will suffer. You need to have a 'marital sabbath'.
Obviously this is not something new I've just discovered, but something I needed to hear, especially as the fall draws near.
Okay, another cool idea I just heard: A babysitting co-op. A bunch of church families take turns every Friday or Saturday night hosting all the kids at their house. That means you have 3 date nights a month & 1 night a month with the chaos of little ones at your house. Anyone interested???

I'm in! For a spouse sabbath and babysitting!!!
I just heard about a babysitting co-op too! We'd be interested and it would be fun to compare notes on what they said. I am sure we could come up with something cool!
thanks for the good thoughts. love Mark Driscoll.
We are terrible about taking time together.
