1 Thessalonians 5:18
In everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
Prayer: Thank the Lord for all the positive, good things in your marriage (you may want to make a list). Also thank Him for all the troubling moments by offering up a sacrifice of thanksgiving in the face of challenges and bad news. Ask the Lord to make you a thankful Love & Respect couple in every circumstance.
Action: During times of prayer together this week, offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving and praise. Introduce the practice of giving thanks whenever you pray, always aware that this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. (For discussion questions, see page 240 in Appendix A.)
