One Thing to Grow Your Marriage Each DayEgzanp

Bragging to benefit your marriage 

Devotional Content: 

Have you ever been around someone who is always complaining about their spouse? It’s like their spouse never does anything right, and even when they try, they get it wrong. As a counselor, I can’t help but take notice when I am out in public and hear someone doing that. I know from years of counseling couples that nothing good ever results from those negative words. The speaker is laying a foundation of negativity in their marriage, and their spouse gets slammed without even knowing it. It’s a no-win situation. 

One really good way to grow your marriage is to brag about your spouse to someone else. This does a couple of things: First, it is a great witness and example of a Christian marriage. Second, it keeps our thoughts about our spouse on the positive side. Another benefit of speaking positively about your spouse occurs when someone else tells your spouse what you said about them. Your husband or wife is a gift to you from God. Thank God for your gift, and start talking about your spouse to others in a positive way.
