Four Core Habits for a Healthy Marriage
Have Serious Fun.
Having fun as a couple is not optional; it’s essential. We believe the best way to protect your marriage is to enjoy it regularly. (
Proverbs 5:18
)
Respect and Love.
Of the few verses God gives to husbands and wives, the directive to respect and love is commanded more than any other. This truth really can set us free when we understand the interplay of respect and love. (
Ephesians 5:21-33
)
Love God First.
When Jesus was asked about the greatest commandment, His answer was to love God with all you are and to love others as well as you love yourself. Loving God in your individual life greatly impacts your married life. (
Matthew 22:37-40
)
Practice Your Promise.
Our spouses trusted that we would do what we promised when we said, “I do”—to love each other and to stay together no matter what. Knowing and experiencing a lasting commitment is vital to every marriage. (
Proverbs 5:18
;
Malachi 2:15
)
