Jekyll spoke on marriage being an investment. Nothing in life will fix itself, you have to work at it, invest in it.

• Challenge – Do something today for your “M” that you wouldn’t normally do. Small steps, you won’t get there overnight but the investment overtime will make your marriage fruitful.

Handoff to Fusion

1/2 mile mosey across Cherry Park.  Time for some trail running!

Fusion apologized to the unmarried guys and spoke on marriage again. It is not only an investment but also a partnership. God made us equal in his image.

1 Peter 3

⁷ Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs WITH you in the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.

I don’t know about you all, but my wife keeps our family on-track and running, so I have never really considered her weak.  After reading into it a little further, it started to make sense.

As – the weaker vessel – Being more delicately, and consequently more slender, constructed. Roughness and strength go hand in hand; so likewise do beauty and frailty. The female has what the man wants – beauty and delicacy. The male has what the female wants – courage and strength. The one is as good in its place as the other: and by these things God has made equality between the man and the woman, so that there is very little superiority on either side.

F3 Not only gives us strength but it also gives us emotional courage for our relationship. Men are typically very good leaders by default, but how good are we as partners in our marriage? How good are we as equals? You both need one another to fill a void that you can’t achieve on your own. Really focus this week on the partnership of marriage that you committed your life to.  What really makes your marriage work? Where are the weaknesses in your marriage?  Identify those and correct/eliminate them.

Now, time to work on those partnership skills:

Trail run to the top with your partner

• Wheelbarrow Merkin (Partner one does merkins, partner two holds his feet/ while doing a squat) 20 Merkins each partner

Run to the bottom of the trail

• Partner one planks, partner two side jumps their legs. 20 each partner

Rinse and Repeat

5 Minutes of Mary

Mosey back to COT

Marriage is the theme for May and something many of us struggle with. Always invest in your marriage as she is your partner in life. After god, make her your focus every day.  It isn’t winning the lottery (besides maybe the wedding night), it is a daily investment.

Welcome FNG Jeremy Holt (Cornerstone).  We have been praying for his beautiful daughter Emma and his family for the past year.  Today, we were blessed with his presence and it was an honor working out with you!  The Cornerstone is the point of the foundation in which everything else stems from and relies on. That is our burden to carry as fathers and husbands.  The men of F3 are here to carry it with you.

See you in the Gloom!
