Some rules to live by...

I follow a blog by a cool pastor in California named Pancho Juarez. He and his wife were the main speakers in a marriage conference Myleen and I went to a couple of years ago. Pancho and his wife Millie were awesome! They've been married for over 30 years, so needless to say they had a lot to share with us. I recently discovered his blog at: http://www.panchosblog.com/

His latest post had some awesome advice that will definitely challenge your ego but can save your marriage! So here's a direct quote of his post:

"EPHESIANS 5:25

Husbands love your wives.


Oh sure, we've all know that admonision from the Bible. But what kind of love is Paul talking about? Bear with me as I tread gently on this issue, my friends. Paul is talking about agape love, a love that is birthed from the Lord. We are called to love our wives as Christ loved the church; sacrifically, unconditionally, willingly. After 36 years of marriage, I've learned that I'm horrible at loving like this. But many moons ago I read some phrases that have saved me from tarnishing my relationship with Millie.


Let me share twelve simple words that will nourish and save your relationship:
1. I am sorry
2. I was wrong
3. It's my fault
4. I love you


Write them down, engrave them on your skin, memorize them, whatever! Just put them into practice and you'll see how the Lord begins to work. You'll thank me later......"

Well we hope it helps your marriage in some way and if not maybe it can help someone you know! See ya!

BTW, sorry for not posting on the blog for a while but this is a very busy postprocessing time for me so blogging will have to take a back seat for now (sorry). However, Myleen and I have some very very cool plans for the first half of 2009 and can't wait to unveil them! Some of the things we are planning have to do with a new look, occasional short videos on our blog, consultation for new photographers looking to become pro and some SERIOUS giveaways for brides and other photographers!! Seriously! Ok, I've said too much already but it's hard to keep a good secret sometimes! See ya later!
