Marriage: Rooted in Christ, United in Love

📖 Introduction

Marriage is one of life's most profound unions, yet its strength flows best from the individuals within it. Before becoming a couple, each person is first a beloved child of God. This study dives deeply into the truth that understanding and embracing our identity in Christ is foundational to building a marriage that thrives on His love and guidance.

Often, couples can lose themselves in the relationship, merging identities without first grounding themselves spiritually. This may lead to unhealthy codependency or unmet emotional needs. However, by knowing who we are in Christ before we identify as “husband” or “wife,” we bring maturity, strength, and grace into our marriage. Christ is our true foundation, and from that firm ground we can love authentically, forgive freely, and grow together in unity.

Over the next seven days, we will explore daily scriptures and reflections that remind us to anchor our hearts in the Savior first. We’ll challenge ourselves with questions and journaling to help us apply these truths personally and as a couple. Let this study be a journey—not only toward a stronger marriage but also toward a deeper individual relationship with Jesus Christ. Whether you are newlyweds, married for decades, or even preparing for marriage, may this encourage you to build your couple’s identity on the unshakable rock of Christ.

Let’s begin this transformative journey together, focusing on who God says we are in Him, so that we can love and serve our spouses well in return.
