I farm and it’s harvest time so I haven’t had much time or energy to post. This year we’ve had an unusually early harvest. We hope to be in full swing harvesting corn by my birthday in mid October, but this year, because of our summer weather and early planting, we have been going strong since mid September.

What’s the relevance to marriage? If you are in a distressed relationship and you see a time when things start going better with your partner, seize the opportunity to make a difference, even if it is sooner or in a different context than you expect.

If things are not turning around as soon as you had hoped, continue to prepare yourself so when the opportunity does arise to make great strides in your marriage you will be prepared.
