Marriage Dance

Been quiet for a while, I guess still recovering from our Valentine Dinner dance that we had at our Church building on 18th February. We had over 60 couples in attendance and man wasn't it awesome or what? After loads of food and fun, including some karrooke (Karuiki) singing where couples sang love songs to each other, we danced with our spouses till midnight. Many couples admitted that that was there first time to dance with their spouses since they got married. What fun we had.

I'm not a good dancer myelf, but just being there on the floor dancing with my wife made it worth all the effort. I learned certain things about dancing with your partner that night that are very insightful in regards to our marriage relationships. First, I learnt that it is the man who initiates the dance, he leads then the woman follows in step with him. In marriage, God has called us to lead by loving our wifes even as He has loved the church. As we lead in this manner, our wifes will follow in sync with our step by submitting and yielding to us following us as we lead them. If your wife is not following check your leading.

Secondly, I realized that we have to have a rythm. Understanding one another and our differences as men and women is what brings that rythm in marriage. Now wait a minute, before we can get the rythm going, there will be alot of stepping on each others toes just like I did on that evenful night. My wife is still recovering from those sores you know. So relax, there will be abit of that before you can finally find each othes rythm. So be patient and kind with each other, give each other space and grace to adjust. Don't give up, keep at it, I can assure you that by the end of our time on the dance floor, we had developed some kind of rythm and were moving along well. That's what life and marriage for that matter is all about.

Lets keep dancing together and let the celebrations continue. I believe our marriages will never be the same again. Looking forward to seeing all you couples in our "money talk" workshop next sato 12th March again here at our Church building.
