Tying the Knot

Tomorrow night Paul and I embark on six weeks of pre-marital counseling for some younger dear friends of ours.
We've never done anything like this before, but we are thrilled to be called upon for this Titus 2 ministry. We're grateful that Christ's light shines through our marriage so that it has become a testimony to others, but it's also rather humbling for us, as we recognize that we have no authoritative voice of our own; any wisdom we have is only that which is anchored in Scripture.
If you think of it, please keep us in your prayers.
from Titus 2:
1 But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine: 2 that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience; 3 the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things 4 that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed.
6 Likewise, exhort the young men to be sober-minded, 7 in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility, 8 sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you.
