Our church has been covering a sermon series on life verses. We have had the privilege of hearing from different pastors on how they cling to their life verses! Each one explained how God used specific scriptures to carry them through tough times or how they ministered to their spirit. Every message has been inspiring to me in different areas of life including marriage and parenting.

I felt called to share with you a few particular life verses for marriage that I hope will empower you in your relationship with your spouse. May you find hope for your marriage and find strength to carry on even through the tough seasons.

  1. “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” – 1 Peter 4:8
  2. “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” – Ecclesiastes 4:12
  3. “Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.” – Ephesians 4:2-3
  4. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” – Jeremiah 29:11
  5. “Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” – Mark 10:9

    My husband and i are always quoting Song of Songs to each other…its a great way to remember that even in the Bible they talked about how important it was to be intimate with each other. Plus, I LOOOVED Mark Gungor’s “Laugh your way to a better marriage” series we did at our church with our small group. He talks about climbing the coconut tree and it taking all night long…I laugh and laugh, but it has so much truth to it too.

    I had been sent into the wilderness for a season during my marriage. When I believed I was truly at my wits end – I begged for and answer. God sent me straight to 1 Cor 7:17: “Each of you should continue to live in whatever situation the Lord has placed you, and remain as you were when God first called you.” I knew then that the fear of the unknown of the wilderness is nothing compared to the lesson God wants to teach you there. He is a God of Restoration. Hallelujah!

    Ruth 1:16-17. We are using that in our wedding in June. Even though the context of the verse is Ruth talking to her mother-in-law, Naomi, I think it is a great verse to base a marriage on!

    Proverbs 3:5-6 has routinely come back to us in the last 6 months and it helps me always. In marriage and in other areas of my life. “Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all ways submit to him, and He will make your paths straight” NIV

    Jennifer, I feel like there aren’t enough words to express how grateful I am for God leading me to your blog and You being obedient and faithful to this blog! I have been at a place in my marriage for sometime now where I was just going through the motions. After 7 years of marriage and 3 small children, all we did was bicker most days and did not put our marriage as a priority. About 3 months ago some friends and myself decided we would join the Proverbs 31 Bible study through Women Living Well/Good Morning Girls…and wow!!! The Holy Spirit is convicting and transforming the wives in this group…which is how I stumbled upon your blog. Your posts through your blog and FB have been exactly what I needed to read and apply to my marriage, I finally feel hopeful! I am in awe of God’s faithfulness and He has used you and your site as a vessel to restore my hope! I have no doubt God let me directly to your blog because He knew this was exactly what I needed…and it has truly saved my marriage! Thank you, thank you, thank you! ❤
