These daily marriage devotionals are compiled from verses that we have shared with Christian couples in many counseling sessions over many years. Please read one per day and meditate on how it applies to your marriage. (Note: if you are not certain you are a Christian, please read The Sinner’s Prayer)
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. (James 1:2-3)
As believers in Christ, we are called to follow His teachings and model our lives after His example. This includes our marriages.
In James 1:2, we are reminded that trials and hardships can actually be a cause for joy. Why is this? Because trials have the ability to test and strengthen our faith. They can help us to persevere through difficult times and come out stronger on the other side.
In marriage, we will inevitably face challenges and difficulties. It is how we respond to these trials that will determine the strength of our relationship. Do we turn to God and trust in His plan, or do we let our struggles consume us?
By seeking God and His strength in the midst of trials, we can experience the blessings that He has in store for us in our marriage. We can have a strong, healthy, and loving relationship that is built on a foundation of faith.
So let us embrace the trials that come our way, knowing that they have the power to strengthen our faith and our marriage. May our marriages be a testament to the love and grace of God.

If you miss one, two, or many days, don’t worry about it and don’t try to catch up. Just start where you are and keep going. We have found the Holy Spirit can prompt you to return to just the passage you need for today.
This is an ongoing labor of love because these marriage devotionals will never be finished, but we have to start somewhere, so we will update often. We appreciate your support and prayers because this is a work of God not us. And please forgive us because we have never found a verse that doesn’t apply to marriage somehow.
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. (Proverbs 30:5)
