The Most Important Thing
Well, today is my day off. I always take my day off on Monday because I am usually worn out from the weekend after preaching all the services and ministering. In fact, this is one of the busiest seasons Chris and I have ever had in our lives. And the busier it gets, the more intentional we have to be about scheduling the most important thing. On Mondays, Chris and I always go to breakfast or lunch together. It gives us a chance to really talk about the week, our lives together and our family. But most of all we talk about our relationship. It’s so crucial for us to get centered before the week starts.
This week everything really starts for us tonight. At 10:30 p.m. I will be doing an interview on a radio station that goes all throughout New Zealand about One Month to Live. The strange thing about it is that it’s live but it airs Tuesday morning in New Zealand. So, for me, Tuesday starts really early this week. We’ve discovered that the busier our lives get the more important it is to schedule in dates and times just to talk and for Chris and I to continually work on our marriage relationship. This is so important for us because in marriage you’re either growing closer together or you’re moving further apart.
So, I’d love to hear from some of you about how your relationships are going with your One Month to Live Lifestyle. What are some of the things you’re doing to get intentional about scheduling time for the people who are most important in your life?

Thanks a million Kerry. Thanks to you both for writing such a awesome book.
I love your observation"...in marriage you’re either growing closer together or you’re moving further apart." I really take that to heart and work on my relationship with my wife Haritha. She is a true blessing in every aspect of my life.
Keep blogging and we LOVE you.

I have thought about this concept for a while and am interested in trying to live this way. Unfortunately, I do not have the benefit of having the book nor can I afford one right now but I hope to glean what I can from the website. Thanks for doing this.
