Where the Green Grass Grows

We love new things. Sometimes what's new isn't what belongs to us. Look at marriage in comparison to grass, we love the way the long blades of Kentucky Bluegrass and St. Augustine grass feel under our bare feet. We could walk, play and lay in it all day. However we never go out and play in the lawn where the weeds have crept in and taken over. Surely we don't even like to look at the dried up burnt grass let alone be on it.
We want to be where the green grass grows. 
Well our marriages are just like our lawns. They have to be watered, seeded, weeded, cut and edged, and sprayed to be protected from infestation to stay healthy, beautiful and strong all year long. Marriages will go through many seasons but taking care of it through all of them ensures we have a beautiful and full marriage for a lifetime. No need to desire another's, forsake all others. Just as God has clothed the grass to withstand all the seasons, He's done the same for your marriage. The more you work it the better it gets.
Take care of your marriage all year long, 
after all this is where your Green Grass Grows.
