What a 14-week marriage intensive taught us about small seeds, spiritual weeds, and intentional growth.
What I didn't know then, and am just now beginning to understand now, is that my elders spoke of a family culture- one filled with standards, traditions, boundaries, and customs. Fast forward to now living in my 30s, married with 5 young kiddos. For a few years, I felt the Holy Spirit impress on me to consider carefully the culture my husband and I were cultivating within our home.
