Every day you can decide to grow your marriage stronger and you can choose how you will love your husband. You can give him the best of yourself. There are many people who will seek to tear down your marriage. Perhaps it’s a family member who for whatever reason isn’t thrilled with your relationship. Or, maybe it’s a dear friend going through their own marriage struggle and in an attempt at solidarity seeks to make you second guess your own.

- Decide that together you will stand or fall.
- Decide every single day that you will love him, in word, in deed, in body, and in spirit.
- Decide that you will choose him whenever you are presented with a choice… choose him over any other thing.
- Decide that you will not allow others to influence your emotional well-being, your relationship, or your decisions concerning your marriage.
- Decide that you will speak only good of him to others.
- Decide that no matter what you will love him.
- Decide that today is the day to begin to make your marriage stronger. And tomorrow… decide again.
A stronger marriage is possible. I know you can’t do it alone. But the reality is we can not change another person. We can only change ourselves and how we relate to and interact with another. This is true in marriage as well. We can not change our spouses. But we can decide how we will treat them, love them, and honor them.
When you respect, show love, and treat another person, even your husband with kindness, you stand a greater chance of their heart growing stronger toward you.
It starts with one spouse deciding to grow a stronger marriage. It can start with you, and it can start today. You can choose.
