We pray through Scripture, confront the weight of folly, and argue that marriage should look unmistakably faithful—so faithful it seems “too clingy” to a watching world. From Song of Solomon and Melchizedek to boredom’s hidden gift and early American sources, we tie devotion to daily habits that renew homes and civic life.

• cleaving in marriage as a living witness of Christ and the Church
• practical calls to pray, read Scripture, and be still
• Song of Solomon’s pursuit and protection of love
• Melchizedek and Christ’s enduring priesthood
• Psalm 105 on provision leading to obedience
• Proverbs on the heavy cost of foolishness
• boredom as a path to reflection and renewal
• Churchill’s daily quiet as an example of mental rest
• Medal of Honor courage as a model of faithfulness
• founding-era texts tying faith to public virtue
• closing prayer and blessings for families and nations

• Hebrews 6: promise, oath, and an anchor for the soul
• Joseph’s trials forming character before promotion

• front‑loading prayer and service to align priorities
• marriage as daily duty and shared spare time
• modesty, order, and good works in 1 Timothy 2
• Hebrews 4 and entering God’s rest through obedience

A quiet prayer opens into a frank talk on priorities: why spare time exposes what we worship, how daily habits build intimacy in marriage, and why Scripture—not shifting culture—must lead. We read Hebrews 3, rejoice in Psalm 104’s order, honor a forgotten hero, and examine Maryland’s 1776 charter.

• carving time for God and spouse as a daily practice
• resisting cultural pressure to edit Scripture
• Hebrews 3 on Christ above Moses and warning against unbelief
• Psalm 104’s picture of ordered creation and human rhythm
• Proverbs 26 on actions revealing true character
• Medal of Honor story of Willibald Bianchi and reordering our honor
• Maryland 1776 constitution on faith, office, and public order
• resources for study and family reading, plus support link

We call for urgent, practical faith—read Scripture daily, pray, and reorder priorities toward eternity—while pressing into the meaning of “cleave” in marriage and the unchanging supremacy of Christ. History, Psalms, Proverbs, and a Medal of Honor story ground courage, character, and culture.
