I bought test tubes the other day.

Not for work.

Not for science.

For my wife.

Life in the valley can get routine.

Work.
Kids.
Schedules.
Responsibilities.

And if you’re not intentional…

you start going through the motions.

So I decided to mix it up.

I started leaving clues around the house for Amanda.

Hidden messages.
Playful notes.
A little flirty.

And if you know us…

chemistry is kind of our thing.

So the other day…

I turned the periodic table into a cipher.

She had to decode it…

to figure out the message.

And it made us laugh.

But it also reminded me of something deeper.

Great relationships don’t drift because something big happens.

They drift because nothing happens.

In this episode of Summit After the Storm, we talk about:

• Why relationships require intentional investment• How small moments create lasting connection• The danger of routine without purpose• And what the mountain teaches us about staying connected

📖 Song of Solomon 2:15 — “Catch for us the little foxes… the little foxes that ruin the vineyards.”

Because it’s not the big things that usually break relationships.

It’s the small things we ignore.

So maybe this is your reminder:

Do something intentional today.

Send the text.
Leave the note.
Create the moment.

Because the best relationships?

They’re built on purpose.
