When Love Feels Dry: Rekindling Intimacy God’s Way 7-Day Devotional for Christian WivesSample

Day 7 – Intimacy That Reflects Christ

Devotional:
Marriage is more than two people promising to love each other—it’s a living picture of Christ’s love for the church. Every act of forgiveness, every moment of tenderness, every choice to love when it’s not easy, reflects the covenant love of Jesus.

When intimacy feels dry, it can be tempting to give up or settle for less closeness. But God’s vision for your marriage is bigger than comfort—it’s about showing the world His faithfulness through your union. When you pursue intimacy, you’re not only investing in your husband; you’re glorifying God.

Your marriage is meant to be a testimony. And just like Christ’s love never runs dry, your love can be continually renewed by His Spirit. As you’ve walked through this devotional, you’ve been reminded that intimacy is built day by day—through prayer, kindness, forgiveness, affection, and intentional love. This is the kind of intimacy that lasts.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for the gift of marriage and for the way it reflects Your covenant love. Teach me to keep pursuing intimacy, not just for my own happiness but as a testimony of Your faithfulness. May our marriage shine as a living example of Your grace and love. Amen.

Challenge:
Show Christlike love in action today—serve your husband in a thoughtful way without expecting anything in return. A simple act of selfless love can speak volumes.

Your marriage is a reflection of Christ’s love—a story God is writing for His glory. Keep choosing prayer, affection, and intentional acts of love every day.
