What is it about your spouse that you are most grateful for? Take time today to write a gratitude list and then say a prayer of thanks to God for your spouse.

Since people are getting married less often, it’s important to understand the reasons to get married. There are practical reasons, like the fact that marriage creates stable societies, is the best environment for raising children, and greatly benefits each spouse. There are also spiritual reasons, such as becoming more Christlike and reflecting His love for the Church.

Every couple faces stress, but strong marriages don’t just survive—they grow. Learn how faith, trust, and perseverance can deepen your connection.

Ephesians 5:23 calls men to be leaders in the home. “For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior” (ESV).

Our kids are constantly watching us, and how we treat our spouse is probably how our children will treat their own spouse someday. Your marriage is your child’s blueprint for intimacy and relationships.

Your spouse is a gift from God. Their differences are gifts too. God uses those differences to mature us and shape us into the image of His Son.
