Weather you’re planning on getting married, you’re newlyweds, you’ve been married for a while or quite some time all couples can benefit from some spiritually strengthening words and inspiration.
For the Valentine Day’s season we’ve brought together a collection of features (below survey and “So Good” song) that focus on strengthening you and you — the couples that want God to be “in the midst of us”. God has an incredible plan for a husband and a wife. We want to help you celebrate the strength of ‘us’.
READY TO DANCE WITH THE ONE YOU LOVE?
We’ve found a great tune from Lindz West, the UK musician who leads the band known as LZ7.
Some of the lyrics in this feel good song for couples helps underscore a really important spiritual truth of marriage – God gives you a spouse to help develop a spiritual growth in you that you can’t achieve alone: It’s out of my hands… You can mold me, shape me, and now move me, Just take all I have and improve me. LZ7 delivers much more than an upbeat song. This is inspiration for everyone reading Faith & Fitness Magazine, which asks you, “How Fit Is Your Mind?” Mental wellness is such a big part of total physical and spiritual wellness.
The lyrics: It feels so good and I can’t deny – You got me up on a natural high do a lot more than create positive vibes. They equip you to speak truth, communicate thankfulness, celebrate joy and attribute the great things in life to a great God. #teamliftforlife

Are You Fit Enough For Intimacy?
By Dr. Ted Roberts, Pure Desire Ministries International – Intimacy is frequently destroyed in the false pursuit of intensity. The only place on this planet where you see the image of God is in the covenant relationship between a husband and wife or in healthy relationships between singles in church. “Marriage is to grow you up; it is not about your comfort but your character. For your marriage to be truly intimate you will have to pay the price of pain involved in growth.
I Do – In Fitness And In Health
By Jonathan and Audrey Kolowich, personal trainers at KoloFit – It felt like a normal Friday night back in 2014. I was driving home from work at the time and excited for another date night with my soon to be husband. I found my dazed and confused boyfriend sitting on the ground. Jonathan was just snapping out of a hypoglycemic incident (low blood sugar). We got married in 2016. Since then there is a lot more that I have witnessed. It’s a struggle. He’s determined to never let diabetes control his life. He believes that helping others with this same disease is what he was meant to do. Although diabetes has brought many challenges into our marriage, it has only made us stronger.
