6 WAYS TO GROW IN YOUR MARRIAGE

 If you are married, you know that a marriage is full of peaks and valleys. Some seasons are full of good times and deep love. Other seasons it's downright a struggle. Whether your marriage is on the highest peak or the lowest valley, one thing we all have in common is that we can choose to grow in our marriage.

Today I want to share six areas of marital growth that you cannot afford to look past.

Pray harder over your marriage and for your husband.

Are you a praying wife? Pray harder. Is prayer for your husband and marriage something you haven't really done? Start. Intentionally pray daily for your husband and your marriage. I don't mean prayers of "Help him to not be so selfish," or "Make my husband romantic," or "Show him that he needs to help with the kids and house more." No. I mean prayers that God would help him to have a sound mind, prayers for his health, prayers over his relationships, prayers that he would desire to be a Godly man, those kind of prayers. You are the only one who can pray for your husband in this way and you are likely the only one praying over him. Your prayers are vital.

WHAT A MARRIAGE NEEDS TO FLOURISH

In the winter months we often switch our living room and dining room around to put the living room closer to the fire place. One year when we made the switch, we forgot to bring a plant into the living room with us. After a few weeks of only going into the dining room at dinner time, the plant began to look droopy and sad.

So we brought the plant into the living room with us and within hours it perked right back up and was beautiful! Not only did it need water and sun, but it also needed attention. Just being in the room with us and hearing our voices helped the plant to flourish.

Like all living things, a marriage needs to flourish and grow and to do that, it needs attention.

Are you giving your marriage attention?

When was the last time you gave your husband a passionate kiss just because?

When was the last time you hugged him?

The last time you told him how much you appreciate and love him?

Or when was the last time you prayed about your marriage?

For your marriage to flourish, you need to give it attention. What will you do today to help your marriage grow?
