Day 7: Recommitting to God at the Center
Scripture: “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” — Psalm 127:1 (NIV)
Reflection: Strong marriages are built when God is at the center. This year, we want to be intentional about keeping God at the center of our relationship instead of keeping life so busy that God is placed on the sidelines, waiting to be put in the game. Today, we recommit our covenant to God. We choose one another daily, and commit to the work of strengthening our marriages day-after-day. We recommit to protecting the priority of our marriage, with God at the center.
Prayer: God, we place our marriage fully in Your hands. Lead us, strengthen us, and continue writing our love story. Amen.
Intentional Action: Holding hands, reaffirm your commitment to God and to each other out loud.
Day 6: Choosing Love on Purpose
Scripture: “Let all that you do be done in love.” — 1 Corinthians 16:14 (NIV)
Reflection: Love isn’t sustained by feelings alone. It’s strengthened by daily, intentional choices, especially when it’s not easy. Consider this, how you treat and honor your spouse is a ministry, first to your spouse, your children, your family, and then, externally. All that you do, should be done in love. Imagine how you could transform your relationship to something enjoyable, loving, peaceful, and growing. When you choose love on purpose, desired relationship characteristics become the fruit of your effort.
Prayer: Lord, help us choose love today. In our words, our actions, and our attitudes. Allow us to glorify you with our marriages. Amen.
Intentional Action: Do one intentional act of love without expecting anything in return.
A Marriage Resolution Worth Keeping
This year, we’re choosing a different kind of resolution for our marriage. A resolution to slow down and truly see one another again. To listen, not just to respond, but to understand. To protect our connection in a world that constantly pulls us in opposite directions. We’re choosing intention.
Marriage doesn’t grow stronger by accident. It grows when two people decide, again and again, to turn toward each other instead of away. To address tension with tenderness. To meet stress with grace. To choose love, especially on days when love requires effort. Not perfection. Not pretending. Not pressure.
Join me, as we focus on:
Strengthening our connection
Deepening emotional and spiritual intimacy
Communicating with honesty and kindness
Making space for laughter
And above all, recommitting to God as the center of our marriage.
