Our Life, Our Love †

So much of marriage is learning to move ahead as one… learning how to move through hardship, hurt, and frustration. Many couples, unfortunately, expect that their marriage will just naturally progress toward health and oneness. That’s not usually the case. In fact, usually the opposite is true: you more naturally move toward unhealthiness and division.

A big part of moving ahead together is learning to grow in your faith alongside one another. In fact, the healthiest couples never (yes, never) stop growing! But few couples proactively look for ways to grow. Life gets busy, time runs short, kids are crazy, and Netflix is just so, so easy.

What if you spent just 10 minutes each day on your growth as a couple.

What if you set aside just a few minutes each morning to pray with each other, to look at God’s Word, and to consider how He’s working in your lives?

What if…?

Everything would change. And I don’t believe that’s an exaggeration. Your growth in Christ as individuals AND as a couple is paramount to the health of your marriage.

Couples begin growing apart the moment they stop growing together. Make time for your marriage—to work ON your relationship for your good and God’s glory. You’ll never regret investing in your marriage, and the return on your investment is always exponential!

Stay fierce, Ryan
