Grace and Peace to you.


As we step into Week 18 of our journey this year, let’s take a moment to focus on one of the most profound callings in our lives: loving our spouses with the same selfless devotion that Christ showed the church. Whether you are married, preparing for marriage, or simply seeking to grow in love, this week’s prayer and meditation invite us to reflect deeply on what it means to be a faithful and loving husband. Let’s open our hearts to God’s guidance as we seek to embody His love in our most cherished relationships.


Prayer: 


Prayer: God, help me to be a faithful and loving husband. (Ephesians 5:25)


Meditation:
 


Meditation: Reflect on how you can love your wife (or future wife) as Christ loved the church.


Quote:


“Husbands must, therefore, concentrate on being strong for the sake of their wives. Ungodly men are strong for selfish reasons, and not for the sake of others. A godly husband uses his strength to give to her; he does not use his strength to take from her.” - Douglas Wilson

Book Recommendation:


What Did You Expect? Redeeming the Realities of Marriage By Paul David Tripp

What Did You Expect? is a refreshingly honest and practical guide for couples at any stage of marriage. Tripp’s central message is that marriage is not about achieving perfection, but about embracing the daily, grace-filled process of growth, confession, forgiveness, and love. By rooting marriage in the gospel and committing to daily habits of grace, couples can experience the redemption and transformation God intends for their relationship


In His Service,
