Marriage doesn’t have to be complicated to be strong. Sometimes it’s the small, consistent habits that make the biggest difference in keeping a relationship healthy and connected. I’ve been thinking about a few simple things couples can do every day to nurture their marriage, and I wanted to share them. Nothing fancy or perfect, just practical ways to stay close and grow together.
- Read the Bible Together
Even just a few minutes a day reading a verse or a short passage can make a difference. It’s less about doing it perfectly and more about creating a shared habit that keeps God at the center of your marriage. You can read together, take turns, or even just reflect on a passage and talk about what it means for your day. Little moments like this can bring a sense of peace, perspective, and connection to your relationship.
2. Share 3 Good Things About Your Day
Before bed (or anytime that works for you), take a moment to tell each other three positive things that happened during the day. It could be something as small as a tasty lunch, a funny moment, or a kind gesture someone did. Focusing on the good helps you both feel more positive and appreciate the little moments, instead of letting the frustrating or stressful parts of the day take over. It’s a simple habit, but it can really shift the way you connect and end the day together.
3. Give Your Spouse a Compliment
Whether it’s about their looks, something they did that day, or just how much you appreciate them, taking a moment to express genuine admiration can make a big difference. Compliments remind your partner that you notice and value them, and they create little sparks of positivity that strengthen your connection over time.
Marriage doesn’t have to be complicated, and strengthening it doesn’t have to take hours out of your day. Little daily habits like spending time in the Bible, sharing the good parts of your day, or giving a genuine compliment, can add up to a deeper connection, more positivity, and a stronger bond over time. The key is consistency and intention, not perfection. Even small steps each day can make a big difference in keeping your marriage healthy, happy, and full of love.
