It’s been a while since I
posted something about marriage specifically, so today I want to share
something Josh and I discovered during our weekly Bible Study and devotional
time together.
Every Wednesday, Josh and
I have been setting aside time just before dinner to sit together and spend
time with God learning about His plan for marriage. Last year, we stumbled upon
an excellent online resource that has great couples Bible Study options, Simply
One in Marriage, which is a website.
You can choose from
several different topics and each one includes questions to ask each other at
the end, which is super helpful to further dive into the topic you covered.
(Check it out for yourself: http://simplyoneinmarriage.com/couples-bible-study/)
We have used this resource
numerous times and last week the study we did connected us to something they
call “Couple Connect.” Which is basically a guide for your weekly time
together. (http://simplyoneinmarriage.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Couple-Connect-2.pdf)
Since we are up for
anything, we decided to give it a try the last two weeks and have found it to
be really helpful!
It brings up topics that
we weren’t originally including in our time together, like “accountability,”
“decisions,” and “thankfulness.” We have been really enjoying adding this
layout to our weekly time together, and it has sparked some excellent
conversations.
It’s important to us to
make our weekly time a priority but without having a plan, you can spend more
time trying to figure out what to cover that actually doing what you set the
time aside for. I know it used to be super frustrating to Josh and I when we
couldn’t find a resource we both liked or that included questions afterward the
lesson. We really like the website I shared, and it is added to quite
frequently. Plus, there are already so many topics to choose from, you
certainly won’t get bored or have a hard time finding something.
If you have been
struggling to set aside devotional time with your spouse, I highly recommend checking
out Simply One in Marriage and taking advantage of the Couple Connect they have
created.
(I once again have not been asked to endorse this
website or their various offerings, I just am sharing what I found and loved).
