Keep Your Love On: Devotions For CouplesSample

Adjustments

As you manage your love toward each other and pursue the goal of connection, you will need feedback so you can both understand how you’re affecting each other and identify where you need to make adjustments.

Healthy communication requires you to provide your spouse with honest, relevant information about how their behavior affects your life. It’s not about judging them or telling them how they need to change. It is about trusting them to do whatever they need to do to protect and nourish your connection and letting them know that you will do the same.

God, You desire honesty spoken in love. It can be hard to talk about our relationship, especially when we need to share things that aren’t going well. Give us the grace to speak honorably with each other and about each other. Help our communication to be done with truth and gentleness.

What adjustments do you both need to make in your attempt to pursue your goal of connection?
