7. Prayer Is Key
Ask the Holy Spirit for help in your Marriage. Take it seriously. Pray together always. Do not leave the Holy Spirit out of your Marriage. The Holy Spirit is your best ally in marriage and when you invite God into your union, you’re never alone! Remember, Matthew 18:20 says, “For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”
8. Grow together
In our series we discussed the importance of growing together in Marriage. This is more about carrying each other along and ensuring that you are both headed in the same direction. The bible says in Amos 3:3, “Do two walk together, unless they have agreed to meet?” The strength of your marriage depends on individual and collective growth. This tip is so important that we have a whole message on this in the Marital Success Series!
9. Value Leadership
Leadership is important to a successful Marriage. Excellent leadership skills are required – from both partners! Whether you know it or not, your union is an example for so many others in the world. What is your family’s mission statement? It’s surprising to know that most families don’t have one. Ask yourselves, “What are we here for?” A successful marriage always has a vision, dream, goals, and plans for the future. Lead by example with your spouse and children.
10. Avoid Comparison
Do not get sucked into comparing your wife or husband with other people. This breeds resentment, bitterness, insecurities and unhappiness. Understand your marriage is like a fingerprint. It’s different from any other union your friends, family and acquaintances may share.
11. Use your words to build one another up every day
One of the most basic human needs we have is affirmation. Your spouse is no different! Use words and affirmative phrases like:
12. Know your partner’s Love Language
Understanding the primary ways your spouse feels loved is an incredibly powerful way to strengthen your marriage. Once you know your partner’s love language, you’re able to respond to them in a way that’s positive and affirming. To learn more about Love Languages, check out the book “5 Love Languages” by Gary Chapman.
In Hebrews 3:4, the Bible says that “Marriage should be honored by all,” which is why it’s so important to commit to working on your union every single day!
