A popular bumper sticker slogan reads, “Have you hugged your kids today?” Another, equally important phrase that you can copy and paste to your refrigerator, bathroom mirror or forehead is: Have You Praised Your Mate Today?

An everyday dose of praise, whether in the form of a word picture or just a statement like “Great dinner, Honey” or a “You are so kind to other people” can do wonders in a relationship.

Spoken words that attach high value to our spouse are so powerful that they can enrich almost any marriage. Why not try a project in your home to discover just how true this statement can be?

Our Cultural Mission

In 2009, the late Chuck Colson led the charge among Orthodox, Catholic and Evangelical Christian leaders to draw up a declaration that addressed three key issues crucial to the health and well-being of the culture: life, marriage and religious freedom. Within months, over half a million people signed the Manhattan Declaration.

Ten years later, we remain firm in our support of the Manhattan Declaration, and we want to help Christians keep their bearings in a culture that’s ever-changing. Since the Christian faith is about modeling the very essence of God on this earth, the question is, how do we express that in authentic ways with the Fruit of the Spirit – love, joy, peace, goodness, kindness, self-control and mercy?
