One of the greatest things my hubby and I did when we dated for four
years was, we read a lot! We were so interested in how to have a
marriage and family life that glorifies God so we were committed to
gathering as much information as necessary to help us in our journey. 13
years later, one of the greatest things we still do is we read! We read
to add value to ourselves as individuals and we read to keep improving
the quality of our relationship and family life.
We learn from the mistakes of others that we don't want to repeat and
we learn from the right steps of others that we want to apply to our own
relationship. The power that lies in reading cannot be overemphasised; I
believe that if more people picked up books relevant to them, they'll
find the answers they need. One of the most common questions that comes
to CPYF and to me personally is if we can recommend books or materials
that will be of help to individuals concerning the various stages of
their lives.
So by the grace of God, we'll be starting the CPYF Book Club
😁😁
I'll be recommending books quarterly relating to family life. But it
doesn't stop there; books for personal self development (spirit, soul
and body) will also be recommended. As I often say, it's the quality of
the individual that determines the quality of the marriage so every
recommendation is to first enhance our worth as individuals. Every book
that'll be recommended will have been read by me personally! Read it as
an individual, as a group of friends, as a couple, as parents; whatever
works! Just read and gather the knowledge that you need. Remember that
while a house is built by wisdom, while it is established by
understanding, it is by knowledge (the gathering of information) that it
is filled with rare and precious jewels (Proverbs 24:3-4).
Even in marriage and family life, Readers are Leaders so let's get to reading! You'll be so glad you did! I'm excited
😆
The entrance of the Word of God always brings light (Psalm 119:130) so
as we read these Holy Spirit inspired books, may the light we need
that's relevant to us break forth!
Blessed weekend!
