This afternoon, I went back to Genesis chapter 1, where it all began. The creation of man, the creation of all that we see, hear, touch, and taste. What a beautiful story it is. As I read those historical words, I began to see something I’d never noticed before....

When my husband and I were dating, we spent every hour we could together. We watched movies, went for long walks, had picnics in the park, and hung out at the mall. It was never a question of if we had time, or when we had time–we made time for each other by...
