Marriage: Navigating Mental Health with Faith and Action

📖 Introduction

Marriage is a sacred covenant blessed by God, a journey that brings immense joy, growth, and sometimes significant challenges. In today’s world, couples face mental health issues like depression, anxiety, and emotional struggles that can shake the foundation of their relationship. It’s essential to approach these challenges not only with medical and practical steps but also through spiritual engagement.

In this 7-day study, we will explore what the Bible says about marriage, mental health, and how couples can walk through difficult seasons united—leaning on God’s strength. Mental health is a vital piece of the puzzle; it touches how we love, communicate, and support each other in marriage. Jesus acknowledges our struggles and invites us to cast our burdens on Him (Matthew 11:28–30), offering rest for the weary soul. Yet, faith calls us to go beyond prayer alone—to seek healing through community, wise counsel, and practical action.

Each day contains scripture readings that highlight God’s perspective on love, peace, and endurance; devotionals linking those truths to real mental health challenges; reflection questions to deepen your understanding; journaling prompts for personal and shared growth; and prayers to invite God’s presence and healing in your marriage.

Whether you or your spouse wrestles with anxiety, depression, or simply feel overwhelmed, this study encourages both spiritual dependence and practical wisdom. Together, may you find hope, restoration, and renewed commitment. Remember, the journey is not to be walked alone — God is faithful, and His Word carries power to heal and strengthen.
