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)
I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, (Philippians 1:3)
I thank my God whenever I remember you, always in every request of mine on behalf of you all, making my requests with joy, for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now; being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. (Philippians 1:3-6 WEB; 1 Corinthians 1:4-9; Colossians 1:3-14; 2 Thessalonians 1:3-4)
In marriage, it can be easy to get caught up in the daily grind and to neglect the things that truly matter. We might focus on our own needs and desires, rather than seeking to serve and love our spouse. However, Philippians 1:3 reminds us to thank God in all our memories of our spouse.
This verse speaks to the importance of gratitude in marriage. When we are thankful for our spouse and for the blessings that they bring into our lives, it helps to strengthen our bond and to build a healthy and loving relationship.
It also reminds us to turn to God in all things and to seek His guidance and wisdom as we navigate the challenges and joys of marriage. When we thank God for our spouse and for the blessings that He has given us, it helps to keep our focus on Him and to trust in His plan for our lives.
So the next time you are feeling overwhelmed or unsure in your marriage, remember Philippians 1:3 and the importance of gratitude. Take time to thank God for your spouse and for the blessings that they bring into your life. Seek His guidance and wisdom as you seek to build a healthy and loving relationship.

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)
