Strengthening Your Marriage One Day at a Time

A 7-Day Devotional from God’s Successful Marriage

Marriage is strengthened in the daily choices we make to love, forgive, honor, and remain faithful to the covenant God has given us. This devotional was written to encourage couples to return to those steady, God-honoring choices one day at a time.

Whether you work through it together as husband and wife, reflect on it personally, or pass it along to another couple in need of encouragement, our prayer is that it will be both a blessing and a practical help.

You can read the devotional directly below, or download the PDF to save for later.

“Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”
Ecclesiastes 4:12

Our Story - Looking At My Own Marriage

Image
 Marriage is beautiful—but let’s be honest—it’s also messy, complicated, and downright hard sometimes. My wife and I have been married for over 30 years , and while that sounds like an accomplishment (and it is), those three decades weren’t all candlelit dinners and weekend getaways. We married young— 18 and 20 . I was a Marine and statistically speaking, we had a few things stacked against us from day one: young marriage, military life, low finances. We almost didn’t make it through the first year. We were married on a Saturday, and by Monday, I was back on base. A few weeks later, I was assigned to a new duty station, and it wasn’t until four months into our marriage that we finally moved in together. Just three months after that, we were already in trouble—still strangers to each other in many ways, fighting over bills and wondering if we had made a mistake. On a Monday morning, we were ready to call lawyers. But God had other plans. A Marine buddy must have sensed somethin...

When Pain Didn’t Leave, but Joy Still Showed Up

  When Pain Didn’t Leave, but Joy Still Showed Up I didn’t wake up healed. The pain was still there. The anxiety. The depression. The moral injury. The numbness. PTSD hadn’t gone anywhere. Nothing about my life suddenly became easier. And yet, on that day—at an amusement park with my wife and my 17-year-old daughter—I still had a good day. That alone felt worth paying attention to. Joy Without Conditions I wasn’t chasing happiness. I wasn’t trying to “make the most of it.” I wasn’t pretending things were okay. I was just present. For once, I wasn’t replaying the past or bracing for the future. I wasn’t fixing myself, explaining myself, or carrying everything else I’ve been holding. I was walking. Laughing. Standing in lines. Watching my daughter smile. Holding my wife’s hand. And somewhere in the middle of all that, joy showed up—uninvited, unexpected, and unearned. Scripture tells us: “Though sorrow may last for the night, joy comes in the morning.” — Psalm 30...

The Power of Blessing Your Spouse With Words

Image
  Early in marriage, encouragement comes naturally. Newly married couples often speak admiration freely. Compliments come easily. Gratitude is expressed often. There is excitement in discovering the good qualities in the person you married. But over time, something subtle happens in many marriages. Life becomes busy. Responsibilities increase. Children arrive. Work schedules tighten. Bills need to be paid. Stress has a way of crowding the margins of daily life. Slowly, encouragement begins to fade from everyday conversation. It usually isn’t replaced with hostility. Instead, it is often replaced with silence. Yet Scripture reminds us that words carry tremendous power , especially within marriage. Proverbs 18:21 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” (KJV) The Bible repeatedly teaches that our words shape the environment around us. Nowhere is that more evident than within the home. Your spouse hears your voice more than ...
