For Spouses to Grow as Companions
Loving Savior,
The blessing of companionship in marriage can be lost or forgotten when couples let busyness deceive them into believing they don’t have time for each other. The truth is, we are only as busy as we allow ourselves to be. When spouses take on more responsibilities and routinely say yes to requests, they don’t always stop to realize that in doing so, they are essentially saying no to each other. Help married couples take time to pause and discuss together what they are willing to add into their lives, so they consider what they are also giving up. Instill in them a determination to guard their time together fiercely, recognizing that companionship and closeness require both quantity and quality time with each other. Through these efforts, deepen their connection, strengthen their bond of unity, and increase their desire for each other.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
