Crosswalk Couples Devotional

Don’t turn your spouse away or shrug them off. Accept their love and embrace this new start of your marriage—a marriage freed from unforgiveness, infidelity, and insecurities.

Here are some questions to help you and your spouse determine the effectiveness of your communication.

Why get married? Here's a good reason.

Unlock deeper connection and overcome communication barriers in your marriage by learning to listen effectively and validate your spouse's needs.

Marriage vows are holy, even in hard seasons. Here's how to fight temptation, rebuild broken trust, and stay faithful in the strength God provides.

Why do we, as a society, find it so hard to submit? Why does the very thought of having to submit to another cause shivers down our spine or strikes a nerve, causing immediate tension?

You don’t have to forget to move forward. Learn how to create sacred spaces of remembrance at home, while gently supporting your spouse through their own rhythm of grief.

The thinking goes that if parents are unhappy in their marriage, they should split rather than remain in a relationship that exposes their children to resentment and conflict at home. But don't fool yourself. Conflict in your relationship with your spouse is unlikely to cease if you get a divorce. Instead, you will just expose your kids to a new form of conflict as you battle over custody, visitation, financial matters, and parenting disagreements.

When your marriage feels harder than you imagined, where do you turn? Psalm 62 reminds us that our hope must be in Christ, not in our spouse.

What are we called to do as married people? What is the purpose of marriage?

Marriage is a window through which we can get a clearer picture of how our relationship with God can be.

Our entire lives are meant to serve the Lord, and we should not neglect this. As a married couple, you and your spouse have the opportunity to serve God in your church, on the mission field, and at home.

Do good for your spouse as often as possible. Be dependable, keep your word, and build a solid foundation of trust. Think of these Spiritual fruits as nourishment for the roots of your marriage and enrich the soil with as much goodness and faithfulness as possible.

If we aren't careful, our marriages will grow stale and disconnected for no other reason than that we have neglected to invest in them.

It is here in our resolve to cleave that God is able to do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine.
