“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” ‭‭
It’s no secret that we have an enemy that schemes against us. He’s plan is to see us destroyed both personally and as a marriage. Thankfully, God has given us what we need to stand strong in our marriage!

You do have an enemy-but it’s not your spouse. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. So are there issues we must work out in our marriage, absolutely! But never lose sight of the fact that there is an enemy whose desire is to see your marriage destroyed. Jesus defeated him on the cross-and because of that we can now have victory in our marriage. So if you need to say it aloud every once in a while…just look at your spouse and say, “You are not my enemy.” Stay focus on who the real enemy is and choose to fight against him as a husband/wife team.

The word of God is a firm and safe foundation for our marriage. It is what anchors us as we navigate our human emotions, especially when we are experiencing difficult times. We can trust God’s truth to lead us into His best for our marriage.
“Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.” Colossians‬ ‭2:7‬ ‭NLT‬‬

There is a fulfillment in life that only comes through a relationship with Jesus Christ. It is the foundation on which we can then find fulfillment in every other relationship-marriage included. It won’t matter how amazing your spouse is, if you don’t have a relationship with Jesus, not even they will make you happy.

It shouldn’t surprise us that the creator of this beautiful thing called marriage also has the perfect script for our marriage. Y’all, we were given THE BOOK with all the answers on how to thrive in marriage. But let’s be honest, sometimes it’s much easier to follow the script we’ve either been handed down by someone else other God or the the one we’ve scripted for ourselves. Our marriage is an open book test. Dive into what the Bible says about your role in marriage, and let’s begin to win! ♥️♥️

Sexual purity before marriage is important because it is a based on the principle of honoring God-and your spouse. This is a principle that carries into your marriage and ultimately sets you up to experience a thriving marriage. It is important to exercise this principle in your life because anything successful that you do in marriage will hinge on this one principle, honoring God. The outcome of how you treat your spouse, how you treat others of the opposite s*x, etc…will depend on whether your actions are God-honoring.

Does this mean you are doomed if you failed in this area before marriage? Absolutely not! The God of the Bible is kind to have made a way for everyone to return to His ultimate plan for their lives through His son, Jesus. Repentance and receiving the forgiveness that Jesus has already paid for is key. These are the first steps to getting back on track. Then, your next step is simply to choose actions that are God-honoring.

Here’s the challenge for today: Choose to implement the principle of honoring God in your relationship. We promise your relationship/marriage will be richer if you do!

Marriage script, we all have one. Our parents didn’t have to intentionally teach us our script, we just picked it up along the way. Some of our marriage scripts are healthy, but for some of us we carry one that’s unhealthy and won’t help us much in our marriage. For some of us, most of our marriage script is good minus a few detrimental lines that were added by events that occurred along the way.

But God has the perfect marriage script for us-one that NEVER fails and assures us a thriving marriage.

Here’s the challenge for today, take a moment to assess your marriage script through the following exercise: Make a list of those things you saw in your home growing up that you would like to bring/or have brought into your marriage. Next, make a list of those things that you saw growing up that you do not want to bring into your marriage or would not like them to be part of your marriage. Awareness is an essential part of making a change.

To learn more about the two assessments we offer that help you become aware of your marriage script and helps to identify any growth areas, please visit our website. Link in bio.

The ultimate goal is to experience the thriving marriage God designed for you!

Happy Love Day from The Anchored Marriage! Today marks our 18th Valentine’s Day as husband and wife. We’ve walked through different seasons in these past 18 years, some good and beautiful and some quite rough and heart-breaking. But God has been faithful.
We recently listened to a teaching by one of favorite marriage experts, Pastor Jimmy Evans from Marriage Today. He spoke about how marriage is hard work even if you marry your “soul-mate”. We believe this to be so true! Great marriage don’t just happen. They take work. So today if you find yourself stagnant in your marriage, be encouraged to know that a great marriage takes work. Be willing to do the work-we promise it will be worth it.♥️
We often say at The Anchored Marriage, “When you don’t know better, you don’t do better.” Let’s become couples who know better and therefore do better.

Jesus not only heals our past hurts. He’s a healer for our present time and anything we may face in the future. As you navigate your journey as husband and wife, never neglect the healing that only come through a relationship with Jesus.

There we were, once again, going over what was said or not said, what had been done or could have been done differently. There was a knot in my throat as I tried to hold back the tears that often accompanied the conversation of this past offense. My husband on his knees asking me once again to forgive him and allow ourselves to move forward. I sat there in our bathroom feeling hopeless. So many years have past since that day, but I still remember it like it was yesterday. Looking back, I now think it wasn’t that big of an offense but at the time I couldn’t convince myself otherwise. But on that day something happened. I had a thought right in the middle of the turmoil we were experiencing. The thought was this: I can not forgive my husband and live miserable the rest of our lives or I can choose to forgive and begin to enjoy our life. Up to that point, we had had great moments but when that past offense would sneak up, all of our joy would dissipate. And that’s when I cried out to God. I choose to forgive but looked to God for the ability to do so. It was almost as if God was waiting on me to be willing to let it go. And that’s when his supernatural ability to forgive took over. Forgiving my husband on that day has been one of the most rewarding things I have done in our marriage. I’m so thankful we have a God who is able to help us in our weaknesses and gives us the gift of forgiveness. In marriage you will have a multitude of opportunities to offer forgiveness. Do it swiftly, without delay. It will be one of the greatest gifts you will her give yourself.
