Relationships
Jan 14, 2025
God cares about your relationship as a couple. But He also cares about the relationships you have with friends, colleagues, and family. Those relationships may need prayer and nurturing. As a couple, it will be helpful to get your spouse's perspective on these relationships, what they are like, and how to move them forward.
As you read the devotional passages on relationships, encourage one another to ask the following questions:
Is there a specific relationship the Lord is bringing to mind that needs prayer or attention? In what ways do the Proverbs speak about that individual?
Do you see your relationships in the same way as your spouse? Can your spouse bring clarity on what is really going on in a confusing or difficult relationship?
Is there a relationship you believe would be beneficial for your spouse to pursue or nurture? In what way would this relationship benefit your spouse? Would it benefit you as a couple?
