Welcome FNG YAYA, Spitz 15 year old 2.0! The theme was partnership, the workout can be done alone, but much more effective with a partner in crime, same is true in life and marriage. if you aren’t in a Whetstone partnership, get in one.

HYC shared a devotional from a weekly bible study app that related marriage of golf:
Marriage Devotional – happiness – golfer
Being in love and feeling happy are the most important things in marriage.
I took up golf about fifteen years ago. Let’s assume for a minute that God was the one who wanted me to play golf (which I, however self-servingly, believe to be true). Now, let’s ask the million-dollar question: Why did God want me to play golf? Initially, I thought it was because God wanted me to be happy. But once I started playing, I quickly realized my error. How did I know? I was really unhappy when I first started playing golf because I was really bad at it.
I’ve come to realize that golf is not designed to make golfers happy. Golf is designed to make golfers really unhappy and, as a result, motivate them to become better golfers who are “mature and complete, not lacking anything” (James 1:4). I believe God wanted me to play golf because He wanted to use that particular sport to help me grow as a person, both spiritually and psychologically (which, by the way, I don’t always appreciate!). Now when I encounter challenges and setbacks on the golf course, I look at them as opportunities to learn new skills and to become a stronger, more competent golfer.
Let’s apply this golf discussion to marriage. Imagine a marriage in which the husband and wife think marriage is supposed to make them happy. They are miserable whenever conflicts and setbacks arise and may eventually want to walk away from the marriage altogether. Consider how different this husband and wife would feel if they approached marriage with the focus of growing into more mature, agape-loving people who helped each other do the same. Each day would be an opportunity to learn something new about marriage and about each other. Each day would open the door for them to grow into more fully loving and wholehearted people. And, yes, both of them would be content, peaceful, and, dare I say it—happy—as a result.
God, please help me to stop focusing on my happiness and start focusing on helping me and my spouse mature. Please help me to see the shortsightedness of seeking primarily happiness in marriage.

Round of prayers and praises and we disbanded into life.

    Great Q and great words. A lot to be taken in here. Much respect and TAP as Cornerstone stays strong for his 3 year old daughter battling Lukemia. Another solid work out. I never feel as strong as when I am bounding across a field…skipping. All seriousness- its a good one. Howitzer, Aquaman and Fish Stix, et all, showing all kinds of mettle posting following the Murph.
