The Gift of Friendship

When God brought you together, he knew the problems you would face. He created your marriage as a safe place in frightening times. Marriage can give companionship when you’re lonely, and forgiveness when you fail. Marriage can give encouragement when you feel defeated, and give you an ally when enemies come against you. Marriage can offer acceptance when you’re put down or rejected and help when you can’t make it on your own. Your spouse is a gift from God in times of trouble.

Today, commit to each other as friends. Build each other up and help out and lighten one another’s load. Share laughter and fun and keep each other’s secrets. Stay faithful and loyal in every situation. Show unconditional love.

Remember your bond in Christ. Pray together about the good and the bad in your lives. Thank God for how he’s working in your circumstances. Encourage each other to trust in the Word. Praise him for building your marriage and filling it with love.

God truly did make you for each other. Embrace each other as lovers, friends, and brother and sister in Christ today.

Lord, thank you for our marriage. Let us be true friends, no matter what happens. Join our hearts together by your Spirit. Amen.
