A s you and your spouse walk through this process, create a document on which you will record your co-mission statement, scriptures, goals, and any other information. We recommend that you print this document and keep it in your Bibles for a quick reference to review and to pray over.

During this time, dont forget to enjoy your time away, go out for a nice meal, or see a movie together!
