The most intimate thing couples can do together? PRAYING TOGETHER! We pray at church, before meals, maybe alone - but praying as a couple is a total game changer! When ...you pray together, you invite God to the very center of your relationship! You're admitting you can't do this alone and need His wisdom and grace! Jesus said "where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I with them!" (Matthew 18:20) This doesn't have to be long or formal - just hold hands and talk to God! It's hard to stay angry with someone you're consistently bringing before the throne of grace! Sharing your hearts with God together builds spiritual intimacy that carries you through any trial!

Why serve your spouse? What's in it for you? Culture screams "look out for number one!" but marriage among Jesus followers calls us to live completely differently! We're ...called to serve selflessly without keeping score! Being considerate means thinking throughout the day: "What does my spouse need? How can I lighten their load?" Take out trash without being asked, run errands, give them an hour to themselves - without expecting anything back! This isn't just nice - it's biblical! 1 Corinthians 10:24 says "seek the good of others!" When both spouses try to out-serve each other, your marriage becomes a beautiful picture of Christ's sacrificial love! That's what transforms good marriages into great ones! Ready to serve better?
