We strengthened our marriage with CHICKENS! – Ephesians 5

On a weekend away from the kids Ragon and Megan spend some time socializing with the chickens. We have 23 chickens and eight guinea fowl but right now all but four of the younger birds are separated from the older flock. In this video we show off the chickens who wanted to visit:
●Hattie, Henrietta, and Harriet (Salmon Faverolles)
●Bertha and Helga (Light Brahmas)
●Mark and Gracey (Blue-laced Red Wyandottes)
●Dottie (Russian Orloff)
Our other birds are Lakenvelders, an ISA Brown, Australorps, Lavender Orpingtons, Blue Copper Marans, and Cochins – maybe we’ll get a chance to show them off in the future.

The reason we’re hanging out with the chickens is because part of our Sunday School homework was to spend time together as husband and wife doing something we both enjoy. Every day we work to grow and strengthen our relationship with Christ and with each other. It’s not always easy but it’s always worth it.

Ephesians 5 : 22-33 – Marriage—Christ and the Church
22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. 24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. 28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. 30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. 31 “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
