No. 46 - Rest is Important

"It is useless for you to work so hard
    from early morning until late at night,
anxiously working for food to eat;
    for God gives rest to his loved ones." (Psalm 127:2) - NLT

Psalm 127:2 highlights the danger of:

• constant busyness;
• no time for each other;
• no time for family; and,
• no time for emotional intimacy.

Marriage thrives on:

• peace;
• rest;
• quality time; and,
• shared renewal.

This verse acts as a "warning" and a "reminder" that balance is just as spiritual as hard work. A healthy marriage requires rest, because God never intended a husband or wife to live in constant exhaustion. Rest is not optional, it is part of God's design for a strong, peacful marriage.
