3 Ways to Grow Your Marriage

 

We know the proper care of plants (water, soil, sunlight)

Just like plants a marriage needs proper care if it is going to grow and thrive.

There are multiple ways for you to invest in your marriage this year. We encourage you to tap into as many sources as possible but with this podcast, we are going to talk about easy ways that you can start investing in your marriage today.

 

1. Practicing Patience

Ephesians 4:2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

 

Practical Way…

Ask yourself… Is this a big deal… Will this matter in 5 minutes, 5 days, or 5 years?

No-move on

Yes- deal with it

 

1. Support Your Spouse in Both Big and Small Ways

Ephesians 4:29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouth, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

 

Practical ways…

Be your spouse’s cheerleader

Don’t be the first negative voice they hear

Support them by participating in their hobby, interests, dreams, etc.

 

1. Care for Your Spouse’s Needs

Romans 12:10 Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.

Practical ways…

Ask your spouse how to care for them (while you wait on their answer… try the ones below)

Make sex a priority

Take something off their plate

Speak their Love Language

 

Let’s go into this new year being intentional about investing in our marriage in these three ways. Let’s stop wishing and making excuses… remember with proper care your marriage will grow.
