GIVE PURPOSE TO YOUR MARRIAGE

"The truth is, when you relinquish your rights for the sake of your spouse, you are taking on the very nature of Jesus..."

Have you ever wondered how you can find true purpose and fulfillment within your marriage? When you prioritize the well-being of your spouse, there is a fulfillment that can’t be replicated by selfish motives or actions. The truth is, when you relinquish your rights for the sake of your spouse, you are taking on the very nature of Jesus, who came into this world not to be served, but to serve others. Serving your spouse and loving them with a pure heart and pure motives allows you to find the ultimate purpose and fulfillment within your marriage.

Men, scripture tells us to love our wives as Christ loved the church—so much that he laid down his life for her! Both spouses are called to submit to one another, out of reverence for Christ!

A good test to check your own priorities in marriage is to ask yourself a few questions.

-Do I truly want what is best for my spouse?

-Do I want them to feel loved by me?

-Do they believe I have their best interests in mind?

As you are honest and ask yourself these questions, ask God to guide your heart as you plan how to prioritize your spouse with your time, energy, and finances.
