A Collection Of Christian Marriage Advice

It’s hard to face the reality, but Christian marriages are truly under attack.  The thief seeks to destroy and kill (John 10:10) and the devil delights in chaos.  And what better way to destroy the world than to destroy families.  In past years, we’ve watched friends go through divorces.  And recently, I’ve learned of a few more who are now separated and their future as a couple is uncertain. Because of that, I wanted to take some time today to share some of the Christian marriage advice that has really helped my husband and I over the past decade.

First, there are a few things you need to keep in mind when we talk about marriage, yes, even Christian marriages!

In All Truth, Know that No Marriage is Perfect

Honestly, it’s so easy to fall into the woes of daily life.  The routine, the work, the never-ending cycles.  Life can be tough.  Last year, my husband and I went through a rough patch.  We didn’t communicate, at least not well, for over a month.  It was really hard and scary.  Thankfully, we’ve resolved those issues and have moved past them, but it got me thinking.

Marriage Is Hard

I know we’re not alone.  Marriage is really hard.  Rewarding, amazing, fun, and HARD!  So I put a questionnaire out and asked for people’s best marriage advice.  I hope that sharing the wisdom of many will be a help to others.

We’ve established that marriage can be hard and that no marriage is perfect. So, how can we make it better? How can we keep our marriage from becoming one of the statistics? I asked other Christian couples in my life what some of the best Christian marriage advice was that they received. Here’s what they said:

Pray For Your Marriage

Spend time praying for your spouse and marriage, both on your own and with them.  This daily habit can make a BIG impact.  “Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working” (James 5:16)

Let The Small Stuff GO

Sure, it may be annoying to pick up those dirty socks for the 9,856,299th time, but be grateful to have a spouse to do it for. You’d miss him or her if he or she was gone.

Remember The Reasons You Fell In Love

Reminisce and know that marriage is not a romance novel but hard work that does truly pay off. Think back to those first few weeks and what made you fall in love in the first place.

Learn Your Spouse’s Love Language

Learning their love language helps you know how to love them best and vice versa. Every couple should read the 5 Love Languages book together!

Be Honest And Truthful, Keep The Communication Lines Open

Wives, don’t ever assume your husband should know why you’re hurt or angry.  Be humble and don’t wait to approach your husband.  Waiting just lets the anger fester and intensify.  (And vice versa.  Husbands should also go to their wives and strive to communicate.)

Every Marriage Will Have Highs And Lows

There is no such thing as a perfect marriage.  Every marriage goes through peaks and valleys but working through makes it stronger.

Be Intentional

Marriage is a lot about what you put into it.  So be intentional about the things you do for your relationship.  Strong marriages are built by being intentional and drawing close to your spouse, especially in the hard seasons.

Remember these Key Christian Marriage Advice Tips

  • Love Is An Action, Forgiveness Is A Choice:  Sometimes, even a moment by moment intentional action and choice.
  • Never Sleep Apart:  This rarely solves anything.  Even during those valleys, it’s important to stay close to one another.
  • Wake Up And Ask What You Can Do To Make Their Day Better:  What better way to make someone feel special!
  • Keep The Spark Alive:  Making flirting and sex a priority in marriage is important.  Consider sending your spouse hot, flirty memes to surprise them from time to time.  It’s a quick and easy way to let your spouse know you’re thinking about them.

Make Sex a Priority

Ladies, do you know why sex is so important to your husband? On the days that you send those flirty memes, make sure to set aside some time in the evening to devote to one another.  Not only should you make sex a priority, make your bedroom an oasis for you and your spouse! I was recently sent a set of PeachSkinSheets (at no cost) and their soft sheet sets are just what our master bedroom was missing!  With prices starting at just $55 (any size!) for their 2 Colors Of The Month, they are affordable too.

Sleeping In Soft Comfort

I’ve been hunting for a great set of sheets for years now.  Every time I’ve made a purchase, I’ve been left disappointed.  After trying out PeachSkinSheets, I’m elated that I will no longer struggle to find great sheets!  PeachSkinSheets are made from fabric that naturally wicks moisture away. They are also stain resistant and anti-pill! They are so soft and comfy.  And since fuzz balls and pill are a big problem to me, I’m happy that I won’t have to worry with PeachSkinSheets.

I also really love the graphite gray color I chose for our sheet set, but PeachSkinSheets has a huge selection you can choose from to fit just about any color scheme..  It was a hard choice with the great variety offered but I felt the graphite really matched our birch wallpaper.

I also have four pillows and hubby has two.  (I can’t be the only woman who loves a pillow nest, can I!?!)  To offset the darker grey, I choose extra pillow cases with the brushed silver and just love the final look!
