Unity. Unity is unmistakable and irreplaceable in a healthy marriage. God's word says "they shall become one flesh". Not two people with a common goal, but one flesh. Combined. Unified.
How can you seek greater unity today? In our marriage, we've discovered four rock-solid ways to build true unity.
1. Trust God together.
How are you trusting God in your daily life and with your future? Also, how are you trusting God with your past? Are you looking to him to repair past offenses? Are you trusting His Word together in your daily life? Are you discussing and finding ways to trust God with your future—your finances, your worries, your life?
2. Have honest conversations.
Sounds obvious, but you'd be surprised how often we talk to couples that don't have honest conversations. Why? Because honest conversations take honest speaking AND honest listening. So often, we "hear" what our spouse is saying, but we don't truly listen. We don't internalize, take ownership, and really consider what they're saying. Speak honestly, but listen honestly as well.
3. Build your friendship.
Have fun, get out, and do things together. Enjoy each other! Building and remembering your friendship takes intentionality and it's never a waste of time.
4. Serve others together.
Very few couples serve others together. Your marriage has a purpose that is greater than you. It is to glorify God! Explore what that might mean for you. How can you serve your community, your neighbors, or your church as a couple? How can your strengths complement each other in a way that will multiply your impact? Just something to get you thinking.
May you and your spouse be unified on every level. We pray that as you are, your joy and love will multiply.
Stay fierce,
Ryan & Selena
