7 Ways to Strengthen Your Marriage
Every marriage erodes without work.
Think about it.
When you first met your future husband or wife, you were hyper alert.
Your heart beat faster.
Your brain analyzed everything.
You thought about your looks, your words, your actions, and how it all might appear to them.
You worked hard to pursue and woo.
But then, you married them.
Mission accomplished.
In time, the honeymoon ended, and you got comfortable.
You no longer daydream about them all day.
You became more careless with your words and actions—and sometimes they hurt.
Life got busy, and you set your relationship on auto-pilot.
Inch-by-inch, word-by-word, day-by-day, your marriage eroded.
The bad news is that all marriages have dry seasons; the good news is that it doesn’t have to stay that way.
Most of us just need to go back to what we did when we first fell in love.
Here are some simple things you can do starting today to strengthen your marriage.
1. ENCOURAGE THEM
The Bible commands us to “encourage one another and build each other up”
1 Thesselonians
1 Thess
It’s not just a suggestion.
We need it.
Everyone struggles with self-doubt and insecurity.
Whether they admit it or not, your spouse needs encouragement.
So write an encouraging note.
Send an encouraging text.
Pick something they are good at and let them know how great you think they are.
Men, tell your wife she is beautiful.
Women, tell your husband that he is handsome.
Let them know that you notice how smart you think they are, how hard they work, how good they are with the kids, etc.
The more specific, the better.
Words are powerful.
A little encouragement can change your life.
2. SURPRISE THEM
When was the last time you surprised your spouse?
Let them know you love them and were thinking about them by doing something for them that they aren’t expecting.
Get them flowers, a gift, or a favorite treat just because.
Do something extra around the house for them.
Plan a secret date.
Make a reservation.
Buy tickets.
Book a room at a hotel and get away for a night.
If your budget is tight, you don’t have to break the bank.
The point is to do something unexpected to show your love for them.
And don’t do it with the expectation of anything in return.
Do it just to make them happy.
That’s reward enough.
3. THANK THEM
This kinda goes along with point #1.
But think about all the thankless things they have done over the years.
What do they do every day that you don’t thank them enough for?
Pick something and thank them for it.
This is more than a quick, “Thanks.”
Look them in the eyes and say something sincere like, “Honey, I just wanted to let you know that I see how hard you work for our family.
It means the world to me.
I don’t say thank you enough.
But thank you for everything you do.
We couldn’t do this without you.”
Sometimes a sincere thank you is reward enough for the thankless stuff we do.
Paul wrote to the believers in Philippi,
If that’s the example of how thankful we should be to other Christians, how much more should we be thankful for our husband/wife?
If that’s the example of how thankful we should be to other Christians, how much more should we be thankful for our husband/wife?
4. DELIGHT THEM
What could you do today that would make them smile?
Hard times can suck the joy out of marriage.
I know it’s difficult to smile when the bills pile up, the dishes are dirty, you have a fight, or you get a bad report from the doctor.
But James says
).
The strongest marriages still find a way to have joy.
The strongest marriages still find a way to have joy.
We can find joy in the worst of times because our hope is in Christ, not the present circumstances.
All is well, because, in the end, all will be well.
So lighten up.
Make it your mission to keep joy in your marriage.
Have fun.
Laugh.
Smile.
Crack a joke.
Flirt.
Goof around.
It’s good for both of you.
Proverbs says,
).
So rejoice in the wife/husband of your youth
So rejoice in the wife/husband of your youth ().
).
5. PRAY FOR THEM
If you call yourself a Christian and aren’t praying for your marriage, you aren’t taking it seriously.
The Bible urges us to “pray for one another”
1 Thessalonians 5:17
(1 These 5:17), let our “requests be made known to God” (), “always to pray and not lose heart” (), and more.
), and more.
), and more.
So stop right now, and pray for your husband/wife.
Pray that God would bless them.
Pray specifically for what’s happening in their life.
