   Prayer is essential in seeking God's wisdom and strength. Philippians 4:6-7 encourages, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

​

Ephesians 5:33 emphasizes the importance of mutual respect and love in marriage: "However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband." Demonstrating respect can help foster a more positive and cooperative relationship. Proverbs 15:22 advises, "Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed." Seeking guidance from trusted, godly individuals, such as a pastor or counselor, can provide support and perspective.

​

 Ephesians 4:15 encourages, "Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ." Open and honest communication, done in a loving manner, can help address issues and misunderstandings. Establishing healthy boundaries is important for a respectful and loving relationship. Galatians 6:2 says, "Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." Boundaries help ensure that both partners' needs are met and respected.

​

 Colossians 3:13 advises, "Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you." Patience and forgiveness are essential in overcoming conflicts and maintaining a healthy relationship. Focus on Personal Growth: 2 Peter 3:18 urges, "But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." Focusing on personal spiritual growth can help you respond with wisdom and grace.

Trust in God's Plan: Trust that God is working in your life and your marriage. Romans 8:28 reminds us, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

  • Ephesians 2:10. "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."

  • Philippians 2:13. "For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose."

  • Psalm 138:8. "The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands."

  • Proverbs 16:9. "In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps."
