Marriage isn’t just about sharing a life—it’s about sharing a pursuit of God. And one of the most important roles you play in your spouse’s life is being their spiritual encourager. Not their critic. Not their personal Holy Spirit. But a voice of grace that fans the flame of faith within them.

Our springboard for today’s discussion is:"Let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works." — Hebrews 10:24

The truth is, your spouse will go through seasons—some filled with spiritual passion, and some marked by silence, doubt, or exhaustion. And when that happens, they don’t need pressure. They need encouragement.

They need someone who sees what God is doing in them—even when they can’t. Someone who will speak life when their faith feels dry. Someone who says, “I believe in who God is shaping you to be.”

Here’s what that could look like:

* Praying out loud for your spouse’s calling, even if they’re unsure of it themselves.

* Speaking Scripture over their fears or insecurities.

* Celebrating their spiritual wins, no matter how small.

* Reminding them that God still uses broken vessels.

Spiritual encouragement doesn’t mean having all the answers. It means showing up with faith when they’ve run out of it.

And sometimes, encouragement means silence. Just sitting beside them in the waiting, listening to God on their behalf, and loving them through the process.

You are not your spouse’s Savior. But you are called to be their ally in the Spirit.

So lift their arms when they’re tired. Speak truth when they forget it. And never stop praying them into the fullness of what God created them for.

Question of the Day:How can you spiritually encourage your spouse this week—without pushing or pressuring?

Mini Call to Action:Ask your spouse, “How can I be praying for you right now?” Then write it down—and pray for it every day this week.

Let’s Pray:Lord, make me a source of life and encouragement in my spouse’s journey. Help me to point them to You, speak Your truth in love, and never stop believing in what You’re doing through them. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Let’s Get To Work!You were never meant to run this race alone—and neither was your spouse.
