Train Together

You don’t get good at something without putting in effort. People who want to accomplish a goal usually have to train. They pursue their passion with devotion. Intentionality and perseverance produce desirable outcomes. 

There are benefits to spiritual training, too. When you and your partner pursue God together through prayer, reading his Word, serving, and loving others, you build spiritual muscles. You store up eternal treasure in heaven. You open up opportunities for your relationship with God and each other to grow deeper and stronger. 

Pray

God, help us pursue you wholeheartedly and reap the benefits today, and into eternity.

Like any relationship, your relationship with God takes discipline and diligence.

Read

1 Timothy 4:7-8

Reflect

In what ways can a healthy relationship with God impact your relationship with your partner? 

Respond

Find a reasonable way for you and your partner to incorporate spiritual exercise into your relationship. One way could be to set aside 10 minutes each day to read a short passage of Scripture, thank God for one blessing, and pray for one need.
