3. Show your spouse daily that you are committed to your marriage.
Can a healthy marriage exist without committment? Absolutely not. In fact, I believe true love, the kind of love that God wants us to have for our spouse, can only exist when there is complete committment to each other. This is why we publically state our vows on our wedding day. We can show each other, on a daily basis, that we are 100% committed by listening to each other, spending time together, and being completely honest with one another. I love how Dave is always willing to listen to me, sometimes for hours. He makes our weekly date nights a priority, and I know this because I have seen him arrange his work schedule or time with friends to make our date night a reality. It’s also fun to be creative with what we do on our dates. Keep it fresh and exciting! We also have the same passwords on devices. As a married couple, we don’t want to have any secrets between each other so we can maintain trust and intimacy in our marriage (Hebrews 13:5).
