Life verses are passages of scripture found in the Bible that capture our attention and feed our soul. The are so comforting, they almost seem tangible. God’s Words are so powerful!
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.
