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)
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby (1 Peter 2:2)
1 Peter 2:2 tells us, “Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation.” In other words, it’s important that we desire the sincere milk of the Word of God and allow it to nourish and grow our faith.
In marriage, it’s important that we both have a personal relationship with God and that we prioritize our spiritual growth. When we seek out the Word of God and allow it to shape our thoughts and actions, it helps us to become more like Christ and to grow closer to Him.
As we seek to grow in our faith together, let’s make an effort to prioritize reading the Bible and spending time in prayer. This can be a daily practice or something that we do together on a regular basis. Whatever works best for our schedules, let’s make an effort to carve out time to focus on our spiritual growth.
As we desire the sincere milk of the Word of God and allow it to nourish our marriage, we will grow closer to each other and to Christ.

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)
