Ever had something and you say… OOOOOweee that’s good! What is in this stuff???

Well marriage can be that way, especially  at 4.0 (Read Description Here)

1- Passion

The heated pursuit of another with total engagement physically and emotionally

  1. Daily, DEMONSTRATE to your spouse how desirable they are to you
  2. Pursue one another as if your life depending on it. Never take the other for granted
  3. Pursue God, even when you’re not in the mood. Pursue Him differently to keep it fresh. 

2- Direction

The agreed upon emphasis in which most energy and resources will be directed. 

  1. This takes a lot of communication, a mutual understanding of each others dreams and desires
  2. Then many seasons of prayer and listening to God as to how He wants you to “marry” your individual desires into one direction
  3. That direction must be agreed upon, and fueled with great energy by both, in order to see great fruit.

3- Fusion 

The reaction of 2-sources of light coming together and releasing a tremendous amount of power. 

  1. When a husband and wife have great passion for one another and God
  2. They are united in the direction they should take, and  have heard that from God
  3. Then an incredible thing happens! Fusion! An enormous release of great power.
  4. A coupe who truly become one in this sense and in this stage of life will find things come to them and it seems ‘Effortless”
  5. God is so much for them, and they are so much for one another, they find great favor in God and from those around them

4- Multiplication

The unquenchable desire to replace yourselves by investing in those God has placed around you. 

  1. When you have so much to offer, you are magnetic and craveable to those around you
  2. Others seek audience with you and your ability to influence and lead grows exponentially!
  3. You have so much to offer, and those around you are so eager to have what you have, your ability for reproduction is endless.
  4. These are the most fruitful years of your life! You are marrying…

Passion + Direction + Fusion + Multiplication = UnStoppable 4.0 Super Couple! 

What stage of marriage are you in? Are you in 4.0? If so, are you experiencing all 4 of these?

    First of all, nice redesign of your site! One of the things I’m working on right now is praying and seeking the Lord for my wife’s dreams and desires. I want to make sure that she is fulfilling her desires and life purposes as well.
