Day 1 - Apr 27, 2026
How to Build Your Soulmate
Did you know that soulmates aren’t found—they are built?
It might surprise you to hear that a great marriage isn't just an easy walk in the park. God designed marriage to be wonderful, but He also designed it to need our care and attention. Simply put: a happy, lasting marriage takes work!
The Truth About Your Feelings
A lot of people think the "in love" feeling will stay forever all on its own. They assume that if it's true love, the butterflies will never go away.
The truth is, feelings go up and down. There will be times when you don't feel that spark, and that is totally normal! In fact, studies show that couples who actively work on staying close are 70% happier in their marriage.
So, if those exciting feelings fade, don't panic. It doesn't mean you married the wrong person. It just means it is time to put some fresh effort into your relationship.
Change How You See Your Spouse
If you are having a hard time feeling the love, try looking at your spouse the way Jesus does.
Remember that your husband or wife is a loved child of God. Reminding yourself of how much our Heavenly Father loves them can help soften your heart and bring back your caring feelings. Let God's love help you find that spark again. When you look at your spouse the way God sees them, it completely changes how you treat each other.

Day 2 - Apr 28, 2026
Embracing Agape Love
Have you ever noticed that some of the most beautiful and talented people seem to fall in love, get divorced, and repeat that cycle over and over? It’s often because they base their love purely on feelings. When those feelings change, they think it’s time to change partners. But that’s not how love—or marriage—should work!
The Power of Choice in Love: The Bible teaches us that the best kind of love isn’t rooted in fleeting emotions; it’s based on choice. This is known as Agape Love—the unconditional love God has for us. It’s not about perfection; it’s about commitment and grace.
Did you know that couples who practice unconditional love report a 60% higher satisfaction in their marriages? This shows that when you choose to love your spouse regardless of circumstances, your relationship flourishes!
Reflecting God’s Love: Let’s take a moment to reflect on God’s amazing mercy and forgiveness that He showers upon us every single day. His love is unconditional, and as Christians, we are called to mirror that love in our marriages.
Now, ask yourself: Are you judging your spouse or choosing to forgive? Are you viewing them through the world’s standards, or are you looking at them through God’s example?

Ways to Activate Agape Love
- Daily Affirmations: Start each day by telling your spouse something you love about them. This simple act reinforces your commitment and appreciation.
- Practice Forgiveness: Make it a habit to let go of small grievances. Remember, just as God forgives us, we are called to forgive each other.

Day 3 - Apr 29, 2026
Loving Your Spouse is a Choice
Emotions can be unpredictable, but you have control over your choices. Loving your spouse is a decision of the will, not just a reaction to how you feel. You can choose to love them every single day!
Choose Agape Love
- Agape love is selfless and unconditional, reflecting how Jesus loves us. This love isn’t influenced by circumstances or emotions. Did you know that couples who practice intentional love report a 60% higher satisfaction in their marriages? Choosing love can truly transform your relationship!
Shift Your Focus
- Instead of fixating on your spouse’s faults, take a moment to pray. Ask the Lord to help you see your spouse through His eyes. This isn’t about ignoring concerns; it’s about valuing what truly matters. When you focus on their strengths, your love will deepen.
Take Action
Make it practical!
- Choose to express your love in a small but meaningful way before the day ends.
- Whether it’s a kind word, a helping hand, or a thoughtful gesture, these acts of service can significantly strengthen your bond.
Remember: Love is a decision. By choosing to love intentionally, you’ll keep falling in love over and over again.
Day 4 - Apr 30, 2026
Water Your Own Yard
You've probably heard the saying, “The grass is always greener on the other side.” I like to add: “When the grass looks greener, it’s time to water your own yard.”
- Remember, if the grass appears constantly green on the other side, it's most likely AstroTurf "It isn't real"—it looks good from a distance but lacks the authenticity of real grass.
In reality, everyone faces challenges in their relationships. Once you share your life with someone, their imperfections become apparent, and emotions can shift. Many couples wonder, “How will you feel about me when the good times fade?”
Assess Your Marriage
Is your marriage flourishing or struggling? Are there weeds in your relationship? Take a moment to reflect: Do you give more attention to your actual yard than to your marriage?
Like a garden, your marriage needs nurturing to thrive. Instead of allowing neglect to let weeds take over, actively cultivate your relationship.
Take Action
A study by the Barna Institute reveals that couples who prioritize intentional time together report higher levels of satisfaction in their marriages. This underscores the importance of care and attention to maintain a healthy relationship.
Be a lifegiver to your spouse today. They need you, and you need them. Consider asking your spouse out on a date to do something you both enjoy.
Reflective Questions
- What specific actions can I take to nurture my marriage today?
- Am I giving my relationship the attention it deserves, or am I allowing it to wither?
Let’s commit to watering our own yards and watching our marriages flourish!

The Power of Love in Tough Times
"My best friends are the ones who see all the dry, unwatered grass in my life and love me anyway." This sentiment rings true for the best couples as well—those who navigate through hard times and still choose to love each other.
Mandy and I have been together for 38 years, and we know each other inside and out, including all our rough edges. Yet, we remain committed to one another. That’s what true love is all about.
Recognizing Weeds in Your Relationship
Take a moment to ask God to reveal any "weeds" of negativity you may have allowed to take root in your marriage. A study by the Barna Institute found that couples who actively address their challenges report a 70% increase in relationship satisfaction. This underscores the importance of confronting issues rather than ignoring them.
Take Action
Today, commit to doing one thing that brings life to your spouse. It could be something as simple as changing your usual response to them. Choose to be patient, pleasant, and positive.
Reflective Questions
- What "weeds" of negativity can I identify in my relationship, and how can I address them?
