Are You Growing Spiritually Together?

Marriage: Your Partner on Your Spiritual Journey

Let’s be real—life gets busy. Between work, responsibilities, and the never-ending to-do lists, it’s easy for our spiritual lives (and even our relationships) to take a backseat. But what if growing in faith together could actually bring you closer as a couple and make your relationship even stronger?

Marriage isn’t just about sharing a home and making big decisions together—it’s about walking hand in hand in faith, growing spiritually, and becoming a team that’s anchored in Christ. When couples make their spiritual journey a shared experience, they build a foundation that weathers life’s highs and lows with grace and strength.

Why Spiritual Growth as a Couple Matters

We often think of faith as a personal journey, but God designed marriage as a partnership where both individuals grow together. When you and your spouse prioritize seeking God as a team, you develop deeper trust, unity, and a love that reflects Christ.

Here’s why it matters:

• Prayer strengthens connection – When you pray together, you’re inviting God into your relationship, aligning your hearts, and reinforcing emotional and spiritual intimacy.

• Faith builds resilience – Life will throw challenges your way, but a spiritually grounded couple stands strong, relying on God’s wisdom and guidance.

• A shared purpose creates unity – Pursuing God’s purpose together deepens your sense of direction and commitment to each other.

Ask Yourself:

• How can you and your spouse create intentional moments for spiritual connection in your daily routine?

• What challenges have you faced in growing spiritually as a couple, and how can you overcome them together?

• In what ways can you encourage and support your spouse’s faith journey while also deepening your own?

Call to Action:

• Make Prayer a Daily Habit – Start and end your day with a quick prayer together, even if it’s just a few minutes.

• Read the Bible as a Team – Choose a passage or devotional to go through together and talk about how it applies to your lives.
