One: A Marriage Devotional by Jimmy Evans

Marriage is what you make it—for richer or for poorer, for better or for worse. But you may not feel like your marriage is all it could be. Thankfully, you don’t have to wonder which choices and behaviors support a flourishing marriage. God has a design for a loving, lasting, thriving marriage. No matter what you’ve been through, it’s still possible to be and to stay in love.

Thrive: Building Stronger Marriages . . . Together

No one wants this title:  Widowed.  Whether a male or female, the death of a soulmate catapults the survivor into a new way of living.  We dislike the name given, yet it is so fitting, as we feel trapped in this terrible web.

Jesus set the example for how to forgive. Now he calls us to the difficult task of forgiving those who have hurt us. The good news is, he gives us the power to forgive and let it go. In this reading plan, Joël Malm talks about some of the myths of forgiveness and how to walk in the power that God offers to forgive ourselves and others.

Praying for your future husband is an important way to align your desires with God's will and invite Him into your journey toward marriage. It helps you focus on the qualities that matter most in a partner, while trusting God to prepare both of you for the relationship. Trusting God with your heart ensures that your hope remains in Him, not in your circumstances.

High school football coach Joe Kennedy was always a fighter. A childhood in foster care followed by 20 years in the Marines was nothing compared to his biggest battle: his commitment to stand for God by taking a knee in prayer after each game. When he was fired, Joe knew this battle for religious freedom and the rights of all Americans was one they would have to fight—no matter the cost. Based on the movie AVERAGE JOE, this Plan reminds us that the battle is not physical but spiritual, and our greatest weapon is our faith in God.

Keys to a Stronger Marriage

Many couples know their marriage has room for improvement, but it is hard to pinpoint exactly why a relationship is suffering. Often times everyday triggers are the culprit. Angry reactions sabotage our marriages. Rather than run from the things that cause conflict, like poor communication, financial clashes, exhaustion, and feeling unloved, these triggers are opportunities for growth, to renew your commitment to responding gently and biblically towards your partner.
