Married: Faith for the Fight

Marriages are filled with expectations and desires, but we’ll never meet our spouse’s desires fully and completely. In your marriage, who’s the real savior and who’s the real enemy? We are not called to be the savior for one another, but instead, point to the Ultimate Savior. Our fight isn’t against each other; it’s against the devil himself. Marriage is a picture God uses to point us to an eternal reality. Marriage is a tool God uses to conform us to His character. Faith is our greatest defense because it anchors us to our real Savior and protects us against our real enemy. We lift up the shield of faith together to extinguish Satan’s flaming darts about God, ourselves, and our spouse. We can build a marriage protected in faith by regularly praying together and recalling God’s faithfulness in our lives.
