Thriving in Marriage and Relationships
Marriage and relationships are not about proving who’s right, they’re about building unity, trust, and understanding. Paul writes that we are to submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Submission is not weakness, it’s strength under control. It’s choosing humility over pride and love over ego.
Husbands are called to love sacrificially; wives are called to respect freely. When both choose humility, love thrives. Our words matter, what we say echoes in the hearts of those we love. The right truth, spoken at the wrong time or with the wrong tone, can wound instead of heal.
Ask yourself: Are my words life-giving or destructive? Healthy relationships require intentionality, prayer, and grace. When we prefer one another, even in conflict, we mirror the love of Christ to the world.
Reflection Questions:
- What kind of “echo” are my words creating in my relationships?
- How can I adjust my tone or timing to bring healing?
Prayer:
Jesus, thank You for loving me with patience and grace. Teach me to love others as You do, with humility, kindness, and selflessness. Help my words bring life and my actions reflect Your love. Amen.
