A New Year Means New Beginnings for a Christian Marriage

A new year means a fresh start to many different aspects of life. While it’s always important to count your blessings every day, it’s also valuable to look back at the challenges you experienced in the past year and how you got through them together with your spouse. The year 2020 was a rough one for most people, from the COVID-19 pandemic to political unrest and beyond. Here’s a great scripture to think about that applies to everyone.

Be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. Ephesians 4:32

We should always be kind and forgiving to one another, especially when it comes to our spouse. The new year marks a time to reflect on the past and look forward to new beginnings for your Christian marriage.

Chances are you may have learned some new things about your spouse in 2020 since you may have spent more time with them than any previous year. Take those experiences as opportunities to improve and strengthen your marriage. We can all be better in how we think and act, and open communication with your spouse is essential in identifying our strengths and weaknesses. When you have a strong relationship through Christ, you can work individually to improve yourself, while your marriage is getting stronger at the same time.

Sometimes you have to stop and think about the great things you have in your life. As a Christian, your faith and your Christian marriage should be at the top of the list, even though those things can be taken for granted in the busy day-to-day lives we have. Consider making a list of everything you like about your Christian marriage. Everything from praying together to raising kids to reading the Bible are important things you and your spouse should never take for granted. When you take the time to focus on the great things in your life to be thankful for, you’ll experience a positive outlook on life while you’re walking through it hand-in-hand with your spouse.

IMake 2021 the year you look forward to greater things rather than dwelling on the past. However, just remember where you’ve been so you can focus on where you’re headed. Every Christian marriage isn’t perfect, but holding grudges for something that happened in the past is no way to go through life with someone you love. New beginnings mean something different for everyone. But when you think about how your life will change or continue for the better with your spouse through Christ, your faith, marriage, and relationship with God will improve at the same time.

A strong Christian marriage takes work, but the rewards are much greater than the efforts you have to spend.
