Spirituality and Why It's Pivotal
We've been reading a couple's devotion called Night Light (Click Here to See it on Amazon) since we got married and it's a quick, 5-10 minute time for us to connect to each other and to our Lord on a daily basis. Finding a devotion or something specific that you can connect over on a daily basis is important because it gives you and your spouse something to talk about and expound on. You might be thinking that you have plenty of things to talk to your spouse about, and that is very true, but talking about your faith is a deep and profound topic. We are all confused by out faith at times and who better to struggle with than your spouse? You're not going to have all of the answers and neither will they, but sharing intellectual conversation with your partner helps you connect on a deeper level. These conversations make God happy and they build strong bonds between you, your spouse and God. Prayer, reflection, trust, forgiveness, flexibility and honesty are only some of the ingredients in a good marriage, but everyday is a journey, a day to forgive and a day to do better for yourself, your spouse and God.
"We who had sweet fellowship together, Walked in the house of God in the throng." - Psalm 55:14
Devotion books can also be helpful because they can bring up tough issues that may be too touchy for you to bring up out of the blue, such as past relationships, attraction to co-workers, helping around the house and even sexually pleasuring your spouse. All sorts of topics hit the homes of all couples hard, even Christian couples, but with discussion, honesty, forgiveness, prayer and faith, God can help you through anything!
"A successful marriage isn't the union of two perfect people. It’s that of two imperfect people who have learned the value of forgiveness and grace. -Darlene Schacht
No matter your circumstance, prayer and faith in God will get you through it, but start with baby steps, like finding a devotion book to read with your spouse. If your spouse has a hard time adapting to this fellowship time, say a prayer about it, and remember that faith can move mountains.
Happy Living & God's Blessings!
