Prioritizing Your Marriage

As someone who has been married for many years, I've come to understand that amidst life's hustle, nurturing a marriage demands intentional effort. While practical steps are crucial, anchoring your relationship in shared faith and values can profoundly impact its strength and resilience.

A biblically-rooted approach to marriage, such as attending church together and committing to build a Christ-centered partnership, is pivotal. It provides a spiritual foundation, guiding both partners towards selflessness, forgiveness, and enduring love—the cornerstones of a thriving marriage.

1. Make time for each other

Even if it’s just a few minutes a day, make sure you have time to spend together. This could be a walk before dinner, a date night, or just cuddling on the couch. Whatever it is, make sure you spend quality time together.

2. Communicate openly

Spend time talking about your day and having honest discussions about your feelings and expectations. Make sure you are listening to each other and being understanding.

3. EXPLORING FAITH TOGETHER

Consider engaging in activities that strengthen your spiritual bond. Joining a small group, volunteering, or embarking on a faith-based study can enrich your relationship while deepening your spiritual connection.

4. Be supportive

Show your partner that you are in their corner and support them in their dreams and goals. Show your love and appreciation for each other, and be there to lift each other up.

5. Enjoying faith filled moments

Infuse joy into your relationship through shared faith experiences. Participate in religious celebrations, retreats, or engage in acts of service together, nurturing your bond while serving a greater purpose.

Making your marriage a priority through faith not only fosters a deeper connection with your spouse but also aligns both of you on a profound, spiritual level, fostering a love that endures through trials and triumphs.
