I have been working through some Bible Plans from the Holy Bible app and I came across one that was entitled, One Thing. It gave some great ideas for you to think about and do daily. It actually is jump starting YOU to get creative and come up with your own ideas for your marriage. Who knows your marriage better than you do?!

This is a plan to be intentional about growing your marriage.

1. Pray for your spouse.
2. Pick something fun that you both will enjoy and commit to do it this week.
3. Brag on your spouse to someone today.
4. Pray to God to use the one thing that you are praying for to help grow your marriage.
5. Spend at least 5 minutes today connecting with your spouse before you fall asleep.
6. Take time together to identify a distraction in your marriage and decide how you can keep it from affecting your marriage.
7. Praise your spouse for one thing today!
8. When you are sitting down with your spouse, pay attention to what they are saying and really LISTEN. Let them know that you hear what they are saying.
9. Write down 2 things that you think are romantic and share them with your spouse. Then ask them to do the same and share with you.
10. Pray today for God to increase your love for your spouse. Then get ready for Him to answer!
11. Tell your spouse how much you really like them!
12. Take one of these ideas and use it to make an impromptu date this week!
13. Share something positive and good about your spouse with them today! It builds their confidence which is important.
14. What if you and your spouse decided to become a “marriage light” for the world in answer to something God has been talking to you about?
15. Talk to each other about being purposeful in your sex life. Then follow through!
16. Ask God to help you clearly see what He wants for your marriage. Then get quiet and listen.
17. Take 10 minutes today away from the family for just you and your spouse to get a little time for the two of you.
18. Share with each other the ‘most romantic thing’ each of you have ever done for each other.
19. Figure out what your “Love Language” is and share it with each other. Then find creative ways to speak to your spouse’s love language.
20. If it has been a long week and you find that you have not been kind to your spouse, what can you do to make it up to them?
21. In your prayers, thank God for the gift of your spouse today!
22. Reminisce with each other about when you knew that he or she was the ‘ONE’ and why!
23. Do something for your spouse today that you know they will love.
24. Worship together today, first thing in the morning and before you go to bed. Maybe you could make this into a daily routine!

Just some great ideas to help you get started. Make this a fun thing the both of you can do together.

Proverbs 3:3-4 NIV

3 Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. 4 Then you will win favor and good name in the sight of God and man.

I hope this helps you and your marriage! You can always go to our Prayer Wall and add a prayer request. It does not need to be about marriage or a relationship. It can be about anything! It would be our pleasure to pray and stand with you!
