Through the lens of Young married
Passover — blood, deliverance, memory
The Father told Israel to practice remembering the Passover every single year. Same meal. Same words. Same questions. When your children ask, you will tell them.
Marriages tend to forget. The hard things linger. The good things fade. By year ten, you can find yourselves rehearsing the wounds and forgetting the rescues.
Build practiced remembering into your marriage. An anniversary tradition. A regular telling of how you met. A practice of telling your kids the story of God’s faithfulness in your family. A weekly meal where you name something the Father has done. Take communion together. Every practice you keep is a doorpost being painted again.
The Father designed it that way. He knew that left to ourselves, we would let the rescues slip and let the wounds calcify. So He gave Israel a calendar. Marriages need calendars too.
One small thing this week: pick one practice of remembering — communion together, a written list of God’s faithfulness, a story you tell your kids on a regular night. Start it this week. The Father’s people are people who do not forget.
