A Little God Time For CouplesSample

Just For Me

When you wake up and look at your spouse do you see bed head or smell morning breath and think, What have I done? Or do you thank God for making your spouse just for you. God created each individual, and even though we are different and flawed, the greatest thing about our mates is they are uniquely ours by God’s design. 

Respecting God’s creation for you is essential. You may have a few choice things to say about bed head, fingernail-biting, snoring, stinky feet, and more, but because you love and respect your spouse, you never say those things outside of the home. In public, you should respect and praise your mate openly. When you do, you are honoring God as well. Keep the jokes and jibes about flaws between the two of you. 

When was the last time you told your spouse you loved him or her despite any flaws or shortcomings? 

Lord, teach us to love each other as you love us. Help us to cover each other’s flaws by keeping them to ourselves.
