The pursuit of romantic relationships is seen by many as a necessary step toward fulfillment. But Scripture presents a different picture, especially in the story of Adam. In Genesis 2, we find a man not chasing companionship, but instead faithfully walking in obedience to God. From this example, and others throughout Scripture, we can draw a powerful principle: God honors those who seek first His kingdom, and He will supply what is needed in His perfect timing—including a spouse.

What does it mean to ‘prioritize your spouse’?  It means to make your spouse the most important human in your life.  

A successful Christian marriage requires a lifelong commitment.  It requires self-sacrifice and compromise as the husband and wife serve each other.  (1 Corinthians 7:4). When joined properly, the husband and wife become one entity, stronger than the sum of its parts. (Genesis 2:24). This kind of sacrificial relationship is hard to achieve but all is possible with God.

There are no shortcuts.  Changing the way we think is one of the most difficult things we can do but the rewards of doing so are invaluable. We at S&S Pastoral Services can help you create and follow a plan designed specifically for you.  One that gives you the best chance of success.
