Marriage and Mental Health: Leaning on Christ Together
A 21-day study to help couples navigate mental illness with faith, hope, and love, leaning on Christ as the foundation of their marriage.
📖 Introduction
Marriage is a sacred covenant designed by God to be a lifelong partnership filled with love, grace, and mutual support. Yet, when mental illness touches one or both spouses, the journey can bring unforeseen challenges that weigh heavily on the heart and soul. How can couples remain united and joyful in such seasons? This 21-day study is intentionally crafted to guide couples as they lean on Christ, the ultimate healer and sustainer, while navigating the complexities of mental health together.
Throughout this study, you will engage deeply with Scriptures that affirm God’s unwavering presence and faithfulness. We will explore how His Word offers hope, strength, and practical wisdom for couples facing these unique trials. Each day blends devotionals, reflection questions, and journaling prompts meant to encourage open communication and heartfelt expression, recognizing the weight each spouse carries.
Remember, this journey is not walked alone. Christ invites you both to cast your anxieties upon Him (1 Peter 5:7) and promises to be your refuge (Psalm 46:1). As you study together, may you discover new depths of empathy, patience, and intimacy—rooted firmly in the love of God. This plan also embraces the important truth that healing and peace often come gradually, through prayer, mutual support, and dependence on the Spirit.
Let this time be a sacred space where vulnerability is met with grace, and where faith becomes the cornerstone for your marriage's resilience. Welcome to a journey of hope, healing, and unconditional love grounded in Christ.
