Take Your Positions Love and truth shall meet, justice and peace shall kiss. Psalm 85:10, NIV If you are like most Americans married, their relationship probably looks at one of three positions: 1. face to face. Like typical newlyweds, this couple is driving down the road of life in a convertible car with the top down. A favorite CD of love songs played over the speakers as his fingers intertwined. She rests her head on his shoulder, and he gives an occasional kiss on her cheek. Two. Side by Side. This couple has transformed his convertible into a minivan. With babies subject to car seats, with rolling over sippy cups juice stained carpets, their relationship shows signs of strain. Sometimes demand for them all they have to be next to each other while cope day. Three. Back to back. Like ships passing in the night, this couple manages each his own car. Your home is more than a home, it is a hotel. The friction, harsh words, the verbal hincones, and anxiety have replaced any intimacy that usually occurred between them. Chances are you have experienced a little of each of these elements-perhaps all in the same week! But Barbara and I have discovered that the position that holds more promise permanence of marriage is actually arm in arm , walking together at the same pace. In the same address. Decoding means each unique rhythm of their marriage-performing investment know each other so well that they are able to walk together in parallel. If you are face to face , enjoy and give time. If you are side by side , keep working on it. Even if you are back to back , there is hope. God is on track to make all things new. . . and make husbands and wives , arm in arm .
