As Christians, our faith is at the center of our lives, and as married couples, our families are also a top priority. Balancing the two can sometimes be challenging, but with a few tips and a commitment to putting God first, it is possible to have a strong and healthy marriage while nurturing our relationship with Christ.
Put God First
In Matthew 6:33, Jesus says, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” When we put God first, everything else in our lives falls into place. As a couple, make it a priority to spend time with God individually and as a couple. This can be done through prayer, reading the Bible together, attending Bible studies or small groups, or simply talking about your faith with each other.
Pray Together
In James 5:16, it says, “Therefore, confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” Prayer is powerful and effective, especially when done together as a couple. Pray for each other, your family, your community, and your world.
Attend Church Together
Hebrews 10:25 says, “And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.” Attending church together is a great way to worship God as a couple, connect with other believers, and learn more about our faith.
Make Time for Each Other
Ephesians 5:25 says, “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” Making time for each other is essential to a healthy and strong marriage. Take the time to do things you both enjoy, such as going for a walk, watching a movie, or having a date night.
Prioritize Family Time
In Psalm 127:3, it says, “Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.” Our families are a gift from God, and it’s important to prioritize family time. This can be done through family dinners, game nights, or vacations.
