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 speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: (Ephesians 4:15)
Ephesians 4:15 tells us, “Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ.” In other words, it’s important that we speak the truth to each other in a loving and respectful way.
In marriage, it’s essential that we communicate openly and honestly with each other. However, it’s also important that we do so in a way that is loving and respectful. When we speak the truth in love, we create an atmosphere of trust, respect, and understanding.
It’s easy to let our emotions get the best of us, especially when we’re having difficult conversations with our spouse. But it’s important that we stay calm and try to approach these conversations with love and grace. When we speak the truth in love, we are more likely to find resolution and move forward in a positive way.
Let’s make an effort to speak the truth in love to each other, and to create a culture of honesty and respect 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)
