Day 2: Relationship with God

“‘But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.’” - Matthew 6:33

Sign #1 That You’re Ready for a Christian Marriage: You Have a Strong Relationship with God

Before entering into a marriage, it's important to have a solid and personal relationship with God. This isn't just about going to church on Sundays or participating in Bible study; it’s about having a deep, personal connection with God that guides your daily life. When God is at the center of your life, you're better prepared to be a loving and committed partner in a marriage.

Having a strong relationship with God sets the foundation for every other relationship in your life, especially your future marriage. When you prioritize your relationship with God, you learn to love selflessly, forgive generously, and live with integrity. These qualities are crucial in a marriage where love, patience, and forgiveness are needed every day.

Matthew 6:33 reminds us to seek God's kingdom and righteousness first. When you put God first, everything else falls into place. This means making time for prayer, reading the Bible, and building your faith. Doing so allows God's wisdom and love to shape your thoughts, actions, and decisions.

A strong relationship with God will also help you navigate the challenges of marriage. Life can be unpredictable, and marriage will have its ups and downs. But with God by your side, you can face these challenges with confidence and hope. God becomes your guide, providing strength and comfort during tough times.

In a Christian marriage, both partners need to rely on God. When both of you have a strong relationship with Him, you can support each other spiritually. You can pray together, seek God's guidance together, and grow in faith together. This spiritual connection makes your partnership stronger and more resilient.

As you prepare for marriage, focus on deepening your relationship with God. Make time for Him in your daily routine. Seek His guidance in your decisions. Let His love transform your heart and actions. By doing so, you’ll be ready to enter marriage grounded in faith, love, and commitment.

Remember, a solid relationship with God is the first step toward a fulfilling and Christ-centered marriage. Let Him be the foundation of your life and your future.
