With God, It’s Never Too Late to Improve Your Marriage

Dear Reader,

Many people enter a marriage because they’re expecting the other person to do something for them, to give them something, to “make me happy.” But we need to look at marriage from the standpoint of giving, not getting. When each partner fully gives him- or herself over to thinking of the other. “What can I do for you?” each will receive everything desired—and more besides.

The Bible says, “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35 KJV). And about marriage: “Let marriage be held in honor (esteemed worthy, precious, of great price, and especially dear) in all things” (Hebrews 13:4 AMP).

A good marriage does not just happen, no matter how wildly in love you were when you got married. You have to be creative. Learn what the Word says and practice it. There’s nothing better than a really great marriage and nothing worse than a bad one.

Discover how to grow blessings and happiness in your marriage. Do this and you’ll bring great victories into your home—greater than you could ever imagine.
