My Favorite Instagram Accounts for Marriage

So if you haven't noticed, I've been spending a lot of time on Instagram lately. Finding new accounts to follow (mostly related to marriage), interacting with people, posting pretty pictures and mini-blogging, sharing silly videos on my stories. You get the idea.

So, through all of this, I've found some great marriage related accounts and thought I'd share my top 15 with you. Yes. 15. I've found a lot more than that. I narrowed it down.

So anyway, here they are! In no particular order.

Fierce Marriage

True love is impossible without intimacy, and true intimacy is impossible without love. They're inextricably connected. Love requires intimacy because it is the deepest level of knowing another person. One cannot love fully what he doesn't fully know. The fullest levels of love require total honesty and transparency. Intimacy requires love because only love still chooses someone despite their imperfections. Intimacy on every level (physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual) will make your imperfections visible—it will make them known. Only love provides the safety necessary for total intimacy. Aside from Christ, this is impossible. But thankfully we can go to God. Only in Christ will we find the grace to love well, the confidence to be honest, and strength to love each other through it all. May your love be the kind that sticks around when your spouse's ugly is showing. And may your marriage be marked by Christ's radical love and pursuit of you despite your imperfections. We're praying for you, stay fierce! ~ Ryan & Selena #fiercemarriage #love #covenant #marriage

Beating 50 Percent

We are the most critical of the people we spend the most time with. Your spouse is probably that person. Our humanness is bent towards correcting others, rather than humbling ourselves. Maybe today, you criticized your husband or wife for something he or she did. I sure did. I am quick to point out what Jeremy did or said that was wrong, rather than compassionately asking a question about his words/actions. Compassion is the key word. Sure, I could ask Jer a snarky question with an offensive tone… For example, “How come you always have to interupt me when I’m talking!?” These kinds of questions initiate arguments, rather than facilitate productive conversations. I might as well have critically accused him of never listening. When you ask your spouse a “compassionately curious” question, they won’t feel like the question itself is an accusation. The best way to do this, is to ask a question about you. To do this, your pride has to go out the window and over the fence. For example, “Hey babe, do you feel like I let you talk when we are having a discussion, or am I sometimes overbearing?” This kind of question comes from a place of humility, rather than offense. If we are going to initiate conversations with our husbands and wives that may come across as critical, we must be willing to start with humility. We must be more concerned with progress, than proving a point. Compassionate curiosity - without an agenda - has the power to foster intimacy, increase communication, stimulate growth, heal wounds, breed peace, and deepen love. Be more compassionately curious. #beating50percent #stayingido #compssionatelycurious 📷 @dawn_photo

Marriage 365

When you were dating your spouse, you were curious about their dreams, desires, childhood, and goals in life. You asked questions and listened intently. DON'T STOP asking! Never stop being curious about who your spouse is and what they long for. #marriage365 #ichooselove | 📷 by @mathieuphotography

Chelsea Damon

I went on a date with a guy in high school where, when he picked me up to go to the movies, we started listening to some music we both liked in the car. We were singing along and at one point I asked him, "What do you think he means by that?" asking about some lyrics that seemed like they had a deeper meaning. His response was a confused look and "What? Idk..?" Almost like it was weird that I was asking. That was our first and last date. The first conversation Josh and I ever had was about @toms shoes and @paramore . I knew immediately that he was someone I could talk to about deeper things. That's why I love road trips with him so much. Listening to good music and talking for hours sounds like a nice way to spend a few days.

A Prioritized Marriage

"If we look for imperfections in our spouse or irritations in our marriage, we will certainly find them, because everyone has some. "On the other hand, if we look for the GOOD, we will surely find it, because everyone has may good qualities too." - Dieter F. Uchtdorf This is going to be my motto for the week, who wants to join me?
