I think one of the most important things that Todd and I have done in our marriage is prioritizing what is important. In our marriage priorities go like this (in this order) God, Spouse, Child, Ministry/Work, Hobbies/Goals. When you put God first in your relationship, then the rest will follow. At our wedding my brother David White sang a song by Matthew Ward titled "Perfect Union". The words still ring true today...
"There's a love that lasts a lifetime;
a love between a man and wife;
A love so strong it goes beyond all reason;
sent from God above;
a perfect union,...
formed within His hands;
hands that formed the earth, the sky and sea;
still forms hearts together; forming them in three-part harmony;
Though the winds blow and the storms of life set in;
there's a captain who can calm the raging winds;
a miracle just waiting to begin"

There have been many times when the "storms of life" have seemed like they were going to over take us, but having a solid faith in God and praying together, He was able to bring us through it. Marriage is hard. I can't imagine going through it without God being the center of it.
