Great Inspiration!

I. We confuse our priorities.
II. The priorities we all believe, but struggle to put into action:

1. God

2. Marriage

3. Children/Grandchildren

4. Other/including vocation

The key is not to prioritize what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.

III. The problem: Over-committed and Under-Connected

• We must be intentional with our connections.
• Kids need emotional connection
• We get into crisis mode living and marriage

IV. Repair the past

• Be ruthlessly honest about your brokenness
• Focus on your stuff, not his/her stuff
• If the tooth is infected, pull it. Ask is it (schedule, rule, expectation) working? Get rid of the bad.
• Seek forgiveness and give forgiveness

V. The goal: The Ephesians 5:21 marriage. Mutually submit to one another

VII. Deuteronomy 6:4-9

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up
