Through the lens of Young married
The Red Sea and the Song of the Sea
Israel sings on the far side of the Red Sea. Miriam leads the women with timbrels. The men sing back. The first thing freed people did was worship.
Most marriages don’t sing enough. We are good at naming the hard things. We are bad at celebrating the rescues. The Father takes us through a sea — a season of provision, a healing, a renewed connection, an answered prayer — and we move on without stopping to sing.
The marriage that does not sing eventually forgets what God has done. The one that does sing builds a memory the storms can’t take.
The song does not have to be elaborate. Telling each other thank you, this is what God did. Lighting a candle on an anniversary. Naming an answered prayer at dinner. Reading a psalm out loud. The song is whatever turns the rescue into a memory.
One small thing this week: pick one rescue your marriage has experienced — small or large — and sing it. Tell the story. To each other. To your kids. To a friend. Don’t move on without the song.
