Philippians 1:6
Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
Prayer: Thank the Lord for what He is doing in your marriage and for the hope you have in Him. Ask Him to make you more aware of his unceasing kindnesses and unfailing compassions, which are new every morning. Great is His faithfulness!
Action: This week, make it a point to speak optimistically about your marriage. When problems arise, take note of what God is doing, thank Him for what He will do, think positively, and voice these thoughts to one another. (For discussion questions, see page 270 in Appendix A.)
