Legacy Life with the Lacefields

What We Learned About Marriage From The Seat Of A Kayak

The Three Things We Learned On Our Kayak Adventure

The First Thing We Learned: Know Who Is Leading

  • If You’re Not In Rhythm And No One Is Leading, You’ll End Up Paddling In Circles
  • It’s Not Just “Submitting To Your Role”, It’s Trusting That God Is Working In Your Partner, And Honoring Them By Letting Them Use The Gifts God Has Given Them
  • Set Your Partner Up For Success Instead Of Assuming They’ll Fail

The Second Thing We Learned: Find Your Rhythm

  • If You’re Simply Going Through The Motions, You Can Lose Sight Of Your Common Goal. It Is Best To Recenter And Work Together.
  • Getting Stuck Is Common And Normal. Lean Into God And Understand You Aren’t Just Working Through Hardships and Challenges For Yourself. You Are Becoming Better So That You Can Make An Impact On Generations To Come

The Third Thing We Learned: Don’t Quit

  • Understand That Quitting Is Not An Option. When You’re In The Middle Of The Ocean, The Only Way To Get Back To Shore Is To Trust One Another
  • We All Get Tired And Frustrated Because We Are Trying To Do All The Work Ourselves; This Leads To Becoming Out Of Sync. Take A Deep Breath, Refocus, And Start To Work Together Again
  • Recognize That Marriage Is Built For Two; We Don’t Complete Each Other, We Don’t Compete With Each Other, We Compliment Each Other.
