For a long time Paula and I have been burdened with the state of marriage in America.\u00a0 Not only have we seen young married people walk away from their marriage covenant, but what\u2019s alarming is seeing people after 25, 27, 30, 35, 38, even 40 years walking away from a marriage that had been hell for so many years but they had put a happy face on.<\/p>\n
In response to that, we\u2019ve written a Live Event program that will be launching on April 30th here in Nashville.\u00a0 You can check out the MakingMarriageFunAgain.com<\/a> web site to find out information and sign up.<\/p>\n The point of this blog, though, is not to let you know about that Live Event, but to let you know about the name, \u201cMaking Marriage Fun Again.\u201d<\/strong> As a writer and a copywriter, as a person who has ideas that he wants to communicate, help that he wants to offer, I\u2019ve worked hard over the years at writing titles and copy for books and articles that create an essence of what I think people need.<\/p>\n \u201cMaking Marriage Fun Again\u201d isn\u2019t just a clever title.\u00a0 And when you write titles to communicate your brand, your offering, your service, your organization\u2019s mission, you need to understand that \u201ccutesy\u201d is not that important.\u00a0 Communicating the essence of what you\u2019re trying to do in the fewest words<\/strong>, is.\u00a0 Creating energy and movement is important.\u00a0 Let me give you an example of why each word was chosen.<\/p>\n The title begins with the word, \u201cmaking.\u201d\u00a0 Making is important because that\u2019s what we do.\u00a0 That is our task on the earth.\u00a0 That is what God has put us here to do; not to endure, but to make something of ourselves, make something of our lives.\u00a0 And when two people come together in a covenant of marriage, they are making something new.\u00a0 They are commencing on a brand new, not just venture, but a brand new family.\u00a0 A new family is formed and it is not yet made; it is formed.\u00a0 And there is a big difference between forming a thing and making a thing. “Making” is really important. <\/strong> So when you get married, you understand that\u2019s a brief amount of time – courtship, dating, or whatever.\u00a0 But the being <\/em>married; that\u2019s the years, and the decades.\u00a0 That\u2019s the ups and the downs, the apartments, the houses, and the moving across country.\u00a0 It\u2019s the children and sickness and illness and fights and making up, and anniversaries, and Christmases, and putting things together, and mowing yards, and hello\u2019s and good-byes, and deaths and births.\u00a0 That\u2019s the making of the thing.<\/p>\n And maybe \u201cmaking\u201d is the most important word in this title.\u00a0 It shows action and something to put your hands to.\u00a0 Paula and I meet so many people who have just given up on making anything of their marriages So let me just stop here in this blog post today and ask you, \u201cWhat are you making of yourself?<\/strong> What are you making of your life, of your marriage, of your opportunities, of your education?\u00a0 What are you making of the advantages that you\u2019ve been given?\u00a0 What are you making of the help that\u2019s been offered?”<\/p>\n Remember, you have no control over what you confront in a 24-hour period.\u00a0 But you are ultimately in control of what you make of it.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t like what you\u2019ve made so far of your marriage, you can make a brand new start – today! It only takes one of you – the husband or the wife – to choose.<\/p>\n Remember, we call God our Maker.\u00a0 We are the made. We were made by a Creator, so therefore we are creative; we\u2019ve been commissioned to use the abilities and the life that we\u2019ve been given. So make something beautiful.\u00a0 Make something bold.\u00a0 Make something that will endure and last.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For a long time Paula and I have been burdened with the state of marriage in America.\u00a0 Not only have we seen young married people walk away from their marriage covenant, but what\u2019s alarming is seeing people after 25, 27, 30, 35, 38, even 40 years walking away from a marriage that had been hell … Continue reading “\u201cMaking Marriage Fun Again\u201d An Example of How to Write a Title”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"series":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davidfoster.tv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1627"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davidfoster.tv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davidfoster.tv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davidfoster.tv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davidfoster.tv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1627"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.davidfoster.tv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1627\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davidfoster.tv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1627"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davidfoster.tv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1627"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davidfoster.tv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1627"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davidfoster.tv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=1627"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
