As a couple, do you take time together to study and worship the Lord as such? Marriage is a like a braid, and God is our Third Strand. It is Him that keeps us bound together. Two strands are easily separated, but three are more difficult.
When we take the time to study, worship and pray together, we allow the other to see our weaknesses and allow them the privilege of lifting us up to the Lord. Sometimes the best thing we can do for our spouse and our marriage is to pray for them/it. It takes work, and some days it’s not going to be easy. We have to acknowledge that we are doing it because we have been “told to”, on those days when we don’t “feel like it” or “want to”!!
Finding one that helps and encourages both of you is a vital key to creating this habit. If it tends to lean in one direction or the other, then it is possible that one spouse might feel threatened and that is not the goal of doing this together. Go online to a Christian bookstore like http://www.christianbook.com and search for “devotions for couples”. Most of the time you can read an excerpt of the content to determine if you both find it useful.
Set aside some time this week to think about starting a new journey together with a new devotional. May you be blessed by this effort!
