A godly married couple is a powerful testimony in a fallen world. When husband and wife walk together with God, they can accomplish great things for His kingdom.
Every married couple has their own unique story to tell. But no matter what, the love between them will always be the most important thing. if you’re thinking about getting married, or are already married, cherish every moment. it’s a special time that you’ll always remember.

Tips For A Healthy Christian Marriage
God created marriage to be a beautiful union between a man and a woman. He intended for married couples to love and cherish each other for a lifetime. Unfortunately, not all marriages are as wonderful as they should be. Some couples end up getting divorced, while others simply live unhappily ever after. But it doesn’t have to be this way! If you are married, or considering getting married, here are some things to keep in mind:
1. Pray together regularly.
Marriage is a covenant relationship between two people and God. As such, prayer should be a central part of your life together. Praying together not only strengthens your relationship with God, but it also deepens your connection with each other.
2. Study the Bible together.
Just as prayer is important for your relationship with God, so is studying His Word. As you read and discuss the Bible together, you will grow in your understanding of God’s will for your marriage.
3. Serve together in ministry.
One of the best ways to grow closer to each other and to God is to serve together in ministry. When you work together for the kingdom, you will develop a greater sense of unity and purpose.
4. Communicate openly and honestly with each other.
Marriage is built on communication. It’s important to share your thoughts, feelings, and needs with each other. If you’re struggling with something, don’t be afraid to talk about it.
5. Seek godly counsel when needed.
There will be times when you need some outside perspective on your marriage. When that happens, seek out wise, godly counsel from a trusted pastor or counselor.
6. Love and respect each other.
A strong marriage is built on love and respect. Make it a priority to regularly express your love for each other, in both words and deeds. And always show respect for each other, even when you disagree.
By following these principles, you can have a healthy and thriving marriage that brings glory to God.
What Does God Say About Married Couples?
God says that married couples are to be an example to the world of His love for us. They are to be committed to one another, and their love is to be a reflection of the love that God has for us. They should also be faithful to each other, and work together to build a strong and happy marriage.
In Ephesians 5:25-27, Paul writes,
“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to Himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.”
This passage teaches us that husbands are to love their wives sacrificially, just as Christ loved the Church. Christ’s love for us is perfect and sacrificial. He died for us while we were still sinners (Romans 5:8). In the same way, husbands are called to love their wives selflessly and put their needs above their own.
In Ephesians 5:28-29,
“In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church.”
This passage teaches us that husbands are to love their wives sacrificially, just as Christ loved the Church. Christ’s love for us is perfect and sacrificial. He died for us while we were still sinners (Romans 5:8). In the same way, husbands are called to love their wives selflessly and put their needs above their own.
Paul goes on to say in Ephesians 5:30-31,
“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.'”
This passage teaches us that marriage is a sacred covenant between a man and a woman. When they are married, they become one flesh. This means that they are committed to one another for life. They are to love and cherish one another for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health.
Marriage is a beautiful picture of the love that God has for us. He loves us perfectly and unconditionally. He died for us while we were still sinners (Romans 5:8). In the same way, husbands are called to love their wives perfectly and put their needs above their own.
If you are married, ask God to help you to love your wife the way that He loves you. If you are not married, pray for those who are, that they would be able to love their spouses the way that God calls them to.
