It's been a few months since I've participated in Marriage Monday. Today we are talking about faith in marriage.
My thoughts:
Our faith has always been important to both my husband and myself before we married and that is no different for our marriage. Our faith in God is vital. We pray together, attend church, and are trying to raise our son to love the Lord as well. I feel my husband has taught me so much through the years about God and the Bible. I love his knowledge and how he knows so much about the Bible. I have loved to see him in recent years as he has learned more too and shares what he has learned with me.
Through the years we have done different things to grow in our faith together. We've read couples devotional books or a book of the Bible and listened to David Jeremiah radio broadcasts together. I don't think there is one set thing that a couple should do as far as faith is concerned....what works for one couple may not work for another. For example, I once had in my head that we had to read from a devotional book every night before bed. I wanted to do this but so many times for whatever reason it just didn't work out. I eventually realized and accepted that we could do other things together even though that particular idea wasn't working that would be a better fit for us as a couple and our schedule.
Part of our vows that we wrote and said at our wedding was that we would help each other through the journey of life and when we reach the other side we'll know we have helped each other to get there. I'm so blessed and thankful that I have my husband by my side to encourage me and help me along the way.
Have a day of blessings!

I love the last paragraph about helping each other journey..ultimately to Heaven. It took me some time to realize that that is exactly what my role as wife and his as husband is supposed to do.. to nurture and encourage each other to be the best people we can be and to climb that stairway to Heaven.
Wonderful post.. thank you!
My husband too just becomes more and more of an intricate encourager in my faith. Thanks for sharing.
"Part of our vows that we wrote and said at our wedding was that we would help each other through the journey of life and when we reach the other side we'll know we have helped each other to get there."
I really appreciated this because that is exactly what spouses are called to do and to be in each others life. We are called sometimes to let our Spouse lean on our faith during times there's is shaky. All we do should be supporting them in their own walk with the Lord. It's a win/win situation!

It's so exciting to hear about a man's journey into faith! I love knowing that your husband shares the things he's learning about God with you.
Bless you both as you continue to grow toward God. And thanks for joining us for Marriage Monday, today BP.
