Love That Lasts: 30 Days in God’s WordSample

God’s Word as the Foundation

Most couples go through pre-marital counseling before the wedding. Stephana and I did ours over a year after we were already married—at a class in our church. We listened to other couples share about how they prayed together, how their proposals were Christ-centered, and how they built on God’s Word from the beginning.

Meanwhile, we realized we hadn’t done any of that. It was humbling. But it was also a turning point—because that’s when we were first exposed to God’s design for marriage. And it changed everything.

Over the next 30 days, we’re going on a journey that can transform your marriage just like that class transformed ours. Each day follows a simple daily rhythm: Read God’s Word, Pray God’s Word for your spouse, and Live God’s Word with one small action.

This rhythm is short, practical, and powerful. By the end, you’ll see how daily Scripture reading and prayer can bring lasting change to your marriage and your heart.

Read His Word:
“Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.” Psalm 127:1 (NIV)

Pray His Word:
Lord, thank You for showing us that You must be the foundation of our marriage. Forgive us for the times we’ve tried to build on our own wisdom or strength. Teach us to build with faith, patience, and love so that no storm can shake us. Be the cornerstone of our relationship today and always.

Live His Word:
Write down one area of your marriage (or heart) that you want to rebuild on God’s Word during these 30 days. Keep it somewhere visible as a reminder.

Tomorrow we’ll discover the true source of love in marriage—and it’s not where most of us first look.
