Marriage: Learning to Listen Like Christ

📖 Introduction

Marriage is a sacred bond built not just on love but on continual, intentional communication. In our fast-paced world, true listening has become rare—especially listening that reflects the heart of Christ. This study invites you to develop deep, active listening habits that mirror Jesus’ compassion and attentiveness, enriching your marriage profoundly.

Jesus, throughout the Gospels, modeled listening with empathy and patience. He heard beyond words, perceiving needs and emotions, extending grace. When we learn to listen in this way, we create an environment where our spouse feels genuinely valued and understood. Such listening nurtures intimacy, resolves conflicts, and builds a partnership that reflects God’s love.

Over seven days, we'll explore Scripture to uncover practical ways to embody Christ-like listening in marriage. Each day includes focused verses, reflective devotionals, and journaling prompts to help integrate these habits into daily life. By embracing this approach, you will not only strengthen your marriage but also grow spiritually as you emulate Jesus’ heart.

Let’s embark on this journey of learning to listen like Christ—being present, patient, and compassionate—so our marriages can thrive in grace and truth.
