We live in a world where when it comes to
relationships, when it comes to accountability,
and when it comes to faithfulness, there are very
few good examples. There aren't very many
good role models. Especially when you look at
television, so I want people, especially young
people, when they watch the show to look at
our lives and see that God had a person for
Daniel. God had a person for Abby, and it took
them chasing after God to get that. God has
good gifts, He's got desires and things that He
is ready and willing to give us when we chase
after Him. I want people to see that, I want
people to follow our example in understanding
that when the Lord is at the head of your
marriage, your marriage will be blessed… your
marriage will be taken care of. There is a grace
that will come on your marriage when you've
kept things in proper balance and alignment.
So I tell people, you want a better marriage?
Get a better walk with the Lord. You want better
communication with your wife? Get better
communication with the Lord. Spend time with
Him because when we do, He will rub off on
us. You rub off on the people you spend time
with, so when you spend time with the Lord,
the fruits of the Spirit are going to rub off on you

your lives, individually, and in your marriage. I've
