Serving as a couple has benefits that go beyond bonding, contentment and peace. There's a sweet intimacy that comes with working together on a service project or giving together to those in need. Couples who embrace God's call to serve others experience an added closeness, and there are special moments and memories that naturally come when you do things together. Working side-by-side to fulfill the Great Commission – in whatever capacity – deepens your spiritual intimacy like little else can. Being the Lord's witnesses by serving, giving, encouraging, caring and loving as Jesus loved is rewarding beyond words.

5. Forgiving

Colossians 3:13 NLT

Forgiveness is necessary for trust to flourish, and without out trust it is impossible for love to thrive.

Bitterness, I believe, is the number one killer of our marriages. Many would object and say it is differences on money or incompatibility, but these people do not understand how bitterness is a root problem to these and many other marital difficulties. It is this bitterness, which step by step separates the couple from each other and lessening their commitment to each other.
-Paul Bucknell

If your salvation is contingent on your level of forgiveness for other people are you on the road to Heaven or Hell?
