How To Have A Strong Marriage

How To Have A Strong Marriage encouragements for wives tips for marriage strong marriage roomag Unveiled Wife

Marriage is the closest relationship that anyone can experience.  It exposes and reveals so much about a person’s life that would otherwise remain concealed.  In Timothy Keller’s book, The Meaning of Marriage, he says:

“Marriage does not so much bring you into confrontation with your spouse as confront you with yourself.”

Through the interactions of marriage we are faced with the truth of who we are at our core.  Naturally we are selfish, self-centered beings; however, if we are teachable and transformable by God’s power, then there is hope for us to get through those painful confrontations!

The key in how to have a strong marriage begins by submitting your life to God! 

As you seek God daily, you will be able to be more intentional about having a strong marriage, especially through committing to following through with principles that are intended to build oneness.

Join me today as I share a few of those principles over at RooMag as I explain 4 Tips For A Strong Marriage!

    Thanks for this reminder, Jennifer, of the importance of nurturing my marriage with intentionality. My husband and I started walking together a little over a year ago. I was tired of going to the gym on a beautiful day, we had had a big fight (one that I really was responsible for, mostly), and so I asked him if he’d walk with me. It really has changed our marriage. We both work at home a lot of the time. And we had gotten a little too used to being in the same space, taking each others presence in stride. Our conversations were mostly in passing. Now we have a little over an hour together almost every day where we share about ourselves, our kids, and we pray at least half the time. I love my husband very much. We’ve been married going on 28 years. And I want a marriage that’s not just good but great. We are getting there!
