Seven Be The Dads devotionals from Couple’s Night
At Couple’s Night, the Jones spoke openly about the brokenness in their family backgrounds and the ways those experiences shaped them to build their mosaic. Our past matters, but it does not have to write the whole story of our home. With God’s help, dads can learn new ways to listen, apologize, show affection, and honor their wives.

Reflect on the Mosaic
A godly legacy is built in ordinary moments: how you respond when plans change, whether you repair after conflict, and how you speak about your wife when she is not in the room. You will not do this perfectly. Keep returning to God and to your family with a willingness to grow.
