One Thing to Grow Your Marriage Each Dayமாதிரி

The common thread in a successful marriage is...

Devotional Content: 

Do you ever wonder how those couples who make it to 20, 30, 40, or more years of marriage do it? How do those marriages thrive when so many marriages struggle just to survive—if they make it at all? If you interviewed a handful of those successful couples, you would probably get a number of really good answers. You would probably also find that what works for some may not work for everyone. I do think you would find one common thread in almost every successful marriage: The husband and wife are very purposeful about their marriage. With all the distractions in life, their relationship with each other comes right behind their relationship with God. 

This kind of commitment isn’t a casual acknowledgment of the other person; it is two people who each choose to find something to do every day that will make a positive difference for their marriage. That may sound fairly insignificant, but think about this: If you are purposeful each and every day about doing one thing that is good for your marriage, in a year you would have done 365 things! In five years, your total would be 1,825! What if you kept it up for 50 years? That would amount to 18,250 intentional things you did to strengthen your marriage! Don’t you think your marriage would be better? Be here each day, as we look together for that “one thing” that will build an Awesome Marriage. 

Today’s One Thing: Commit to do One Thing that’s good for your marriage for the next 31 days.
