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)
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31)
This verse is a beautiful reminder of the strength and renewal that we can find in God. It speaks to the idea that when we wait on the Lord and trust in Him, He will give us the strength and energy we need to face the challenges of life.
As a married couple, it is important to remember that God is our source of strength and renewal. When we are feeling weary or overwhelmed, we can turn to Him and trust in His strength to see us through. This might involve spending time in prayer, reading the Bible, or simply seeking His presence in our lives.
One way to practice this type of trust in God’s strength in our marriage is by making it a habit to spend time with Him together. This might involve praying together, reading the Bible together, or simply seeking His presence as a couple. We can also pray for one another, asking God to renew our strength and give us the grace and energy we need to face the challenges of life together. By relying on God’s strength and seeking His presence, we can experience the fullness and joy that He desires for us in our marriage.

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)
