Color Together: Love is like a box of crayons. Always color within the lines. Don’t look at them as barriers or roadblocks that limit, but guidelines to keep your love strong.
Be Creative. Use your own colors. Roses aren’t always red and
sunsets are never the same.
Marriage is like sharing a coloring book. Decide together what page to work on and then share. Perhaps one is better at coloring the sky and the other the grass and flowers.
Never criticize the other’s work. If you both desire to use the same crayon, choose a different shade or wait until the other is finished. Compromise and patience is the backbone of a strong marriage.
At times, color your own page. A strong couple stands together but each casts their own shadow.
In coloring, this is accomplished by first agreeing on two connected pages and sitting close together.
Keep your crayons sharptened. The joy of love and marriage is in the details.
When disagreements arise, color together. No words need to be spoken. The peace and joy that comes from creating beauty will not permit the ugliness of anger to exist.
Always be thankful to the God of all colors. He created you both in love and graciously brought you together.
Finally, clean up afterwards. Marriage, like a crayon box, has a place for everything. You will
discover that when one is missing the whole box seems incomplete.
