We’ve also made a commitment of transparency with each other when it comes to saying “yes” to activities. We make sure to discern together each new outside commitment, wanting to make sure we’re still making time for each other, and that our absence doesn’t create too much stress on our marriage and family life. My parents’ divorce taught me that we should be saving the majority of our “yeses” for God, each other, and our family. If we pour out too much of ourselves to the outside world, we have nothing left to offer God and our spouse. [49]
