A weekly newsletter for Christian men
that's actually worth reading!
Question of the Week:
"How can I build an unshakeable marriage?"
3 Actions or Ideas:
-
Prioritize Communication: Seriously ask yourself or consider how much you actually talk with your wife about things that matter? If you're like most men, it happens infrequently to never! That's not good. If you really want an unshakeable marriage you MUST schedule time every week to talk openly with your wife. A simple check-in goes a long way. Put it on the calendar and start making it a weekly priority.
-
Lead Her Spiritually: To be the man your marriage needs, you've got to play the man and do what you're called to do. Start here if you're not sure how to do this: pray together daily. Even if itâs just a short prayer, you can pray for her and over her and then invite God into your marriage and ask Him to build a foundation that can withstand anything.
-
Outserve Her: Make it your goal to outserve your wife. Find out what you can do to alleviate some of her daily tasks or things she hates doing the most and then get to work. Maybe it's doing the dishes, helping out with the kids at bedtime, cleaning the house, or just actively listening to her. Just know that small acts of love add up and make for a great marriage!
Why It Matters
Marriage isnât just a relationshipâitâs a covenant. Itâs a promise between you, your spouse, her parents, and God to love, honor, and cherish her for a lifetime. But letâs be honestâlife gets busy, challenges come, and if youâre not intentional, it's easy to drift apart. An unshakeable marriage doesnât just happen by chance.
Conversely, a shaky marriage happens to those who neglect it and it can quickly become a source of stress, hurt feelings, and deep regrets. Ignoring the cracks in the foundation of your home wonât make them go away. But no matter where your marriage is right now, God specializes in restoration and He can take whatâs broken and make it stronger than before. But it starts with YOU stepping up and acting like the man He meant for you to be.
God calls you to love your wife like Christ loves the Church... patiently, selflessly, and sacrificially. When you lead your marriage with that kind of love, you lay the groundwork for the kind of marriage God meant for you to have.
Your marriage is worth fighting for. Even if the world might downplay the importance of your commitment to it, God doesnât. So get to work and build the marriage that it's meant to be.
