My number one piece of marriage advice is this: Don’t ever withhold love or support from your spouse.
When dating, there are certain things you need to withhold from them as a way of guarding your heart... But once you’re married, you get to be all-in for LIFE. You are safe. Sometimes society paints marriage to be this undesirable thing; like it’s such a downer to “settle down.” Or it’s just “doing what you should be doing by a certain age.” But the truth is, marriage is the greatest union God ever made. It’s not an “I’ll do this for you if you return the favor” thing. It’s a lifetime of a husband & wife unconditionally saying “I’m going to give you my all.” People are so into independence these days, & that’s fine in some ways. But it should never be an idol or something that keeps us from meaningful relationships, especially in our marriages. We all need people. What could be sweeter than building a life with someone who will protect & provide for you, ladies? Yes, go build your dreams & provide as well, but know that your husband is happy to care for you however you need him to. Men, what could be sweeter than knowing you have a faithful woman who will love you unconditionally & never stop believing in you? When someone loves you like this, you’re free to bloom. Their love makes you a better person. If you are married, don’t be afraid to really LOVE your spouse. Hug them. Make their favorite meal. Care about the things they love. Take interest in their dreams. Look for all the reasons why they are God’s gift to you. Notice all the differences that make you better in contrast. Tell your spouse why you’re proud to be their’s. Go to Target & make stupid little videos. Laugh at life’s funny moments. Spend as much time together as possible. Travel & make memories. Laugh & dream together. LOVE your spouse. Every day. You will never regret it! I hope this word blesses your marriage. If you are single & desiring marriage someday, I hope this gives you a positive image of what a Godly marriage can be! No marriage is perfect, but by God’s grace, each marriage can be a safe, lifelong, life-giving union! Much Love, Abby Grimaldi #BornToShine Ministry
