Love After Marriage- Emotional Intimacy

DAY 1 OF 5

Day 1: Celebrate Risk

Life with God is meant to be full of freedom! Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom! God celebrates when we take a risk in order to follow Him and be true in love. In marriage, we will regularly be confronted with choices - one of the most crucial is whether or not we will choose to look at our spouse through God’s eyes and place our focus on what is good. The apostle Paul teaches about love in 1 Corinthians 13:6-7 where it says: “Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” When we rejoice in the truth and choose to believe God’s truth about our spouse, hope will strengthen our hearts to continue moving us deeper into His unfailing love. As we do so, we are actively demonstrating our faith and trust in God.

Remember: When you are in a time of crisis and trauma, your feelings are not your friend. Choosing to believe and hope involves risk, but it’s God’s path to the trust, love and freedom we so desperately desire.

Ponder & Pray: Lord, please show me things that I have held back from asking, speaking or listening to that are necessary for me and my spouse to really know each other.

Activation: Write a letter from God to your spouse with how He sees them.
