I love donuts. My wife, less so. Indeed, her giving me a hard time about junk food has been a long-running gag in our marriage.

A fairly common question among Christians goes like this: “When were you saved?” When well-meaning folks ask this question, they are typically just trying to get to know you better.

Marriages grow cold not because husband and wife begin falling out of love, but because they begin falling out of repentance. The sin-swept wane of many years and the hardening effects of bitterness left unchecked and unrepented of render many cold and callous, unable and unwilling to turn from sin. Unwilling to towards a living and loving Savior in Christ who stands ready to forgive those who forsake their sin and cling to Him for lasting healing.
