Mighty sequoia trees tower hundreds of feet in the air and can withstand intense environmental pressures. Lightning can strike them, fierce winds can blow them, and forest fires can rage around them. But the Sequoia endures, standing firm, only growing stronger through the trials. One of the secrets to the strength of this great tree is what goes on below the surface. Unlike many trees, they reach out and interlock their roots with other Sequoias around them. Each becomes empowered and reinforced by the strength of others. The secret of the Sequoia is a key to maintaining a strong, healthy marriage. A couple that faces problems alone is more likely to fall apart during tough times. However, the ones who interlock their lives in a network of strong marriages increases their chances of surviving the fiercest storms. It is crucial that a husband and wife pursue godly advice, healthy friendships, and experienced mentors. This decision can make a world of difference in your lives and the longevity of your marriage. Find a Christian marriage mentor who will be honest and loving with you. If you feel that counseling is needed, take the first step to set up an appointment. Most importantly, ask God to direct your decisions. Arrogance leads to nothing but strife, but wisdom is gained by those who take advice. Proverbs 13:10
