In Season 4 Episode 8 of the Forever Marriage Podcast, we talk about what it means to be devoted to one another. Devotion is somewhat of a mixture of affection and commitment. In the early church, devotion was a binding element. And in marriage, this concept of being devoted to one another is crucial.  Romans 12:10 says, "Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to now another in honor." (NASB) The ESV renders it this way, "Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor." In this episode and the following we unpack 10 ways to outdo one another in showing honor. 

The first is to bear one another's burdens. Some practical ways that a husband and wife can bear one another's burdens include praying for one another, listening to one another, taking a task off the other person, etc.
