Covenant Keeps Love Alive
A new study found what Scripture already settled: couples who treat marriage as a permanent commitment report deeper connection than those who keep one foot out the door. The world says keep your options open. God says cleave.
What you can do right now is this: stop loving like a contract and start loving like a covenant. A contract says, "If you, then I." A covenant says, "I am here, no matter what."
Three steps for this week:
1. Pray together daily, even for two minutes. Shared faith builds trust.
2. Tell your spouse one thing you are grateful for. Gratitude keeps the heart soft.
3. Name one thing you will work on, not one thing they must fix. Covenant starts with you.
"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." (Genesis 2:24, KJV)
Prayer: Lord, teach us to love like covenant, not convenience. Amen.
