Romans 7:18
For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out (NIV).
Prayer: Thank God for his clear instructions in Romans 7 about how to deal with failing to fulfill good intentions. Ask him for the wisdom to do marriage His way, always communicating goodwill toward each other, always being willing to seek forgiveness when falling short. Don’t allow pride to put you on the Crazy Cycle!
Action: Take time separately to list ways you see your good intentions going awry on occasion. Exchange lists and talk about how to help each other fulfill good intentions. (For discussion questions, see page 237 in Appendix A.)
