More little Foxes

Song of Solomon 2:15
"Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that ruin the vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom."

Now I would like to mention a few more little foxes and highlight a thing or to about them.

 Entertainment- Do you enjoy entertainment together or does it replace her? Do you share dates and fun times out and watching tv and movies together or has the tv replaced her in your life? Do you communicate together and talk or do you just sit in front of the iphone, computer, or tv? These are important questions that can shine the light on this little fox hiding in the bushes.

 Friends- Do you have mutual friends that strengthen, grow, and nurture your covenant? Or does she have her friends and you have your friends? What do your friends do for you marriage or how do they ruin it and affect it? Think about that.

Health- So when she gets sick do you take care of her? Who takes care of the kids when they are sick? If she was to get injured or have a terminal illness would your covenant stand the test? If any of these questions are a problem you have a little fox chewing on your marriage and love root.

Goals- Do you have goals together? Or are the goals you have in life all about you? We should be striving together to grow and succeed in life and the joy that God can bring. We should be looking forward to achieving the goals that we desire together and not allow our lives to separate and grow apart in any way. 

Security- This little fox can be a big challenge because we desire security and comfort in life. We chase after this feeling and emotion so this little fox can not only come from an external force outside of ourselves but this little fox can also be an internal force from within us as we chase and find security in this life. We should be only finding our peace in our covenant and getting the only security we need in our beloved. Stomp on this tempting little fox before he bites. 

Here are some little foxes and problems that can creep up and destroy our marriage covenant and love. What other foxes did I miss? Tomorrow I want to spend a few words on some internal foxes that we have to stop from inside of ourselves.
