Marriage & Couples Devotionals

Free daily devotionals for married couples, from a couple who has been at it more than 40 years.

Most marriages don't fall apart in a crisis. They drift on a Tuesday. Two people who love each other, tired, distracted, plowing in circles instead of straight lines.

Lisa and I have been married more than 40 years, and here's the thing I know for sure: when two people are yoked together with Jesus in the middle, they pull in the same direction. When they're not, they go around and around. Nobody plans to drift. It just happens when nobody's steering.

These marriage devotionals for couples are five minutes, one passage, and one thing to say to your spouse before the day starts. Read the same one on the same morning. Three mornings a week is a win.

Sex, Love, and Real Intimacy

Genesis 2:24 reveals that sex is not just physical but a sacred bond designed by God to flourish within lifelong covenant; true intimacy grows not from desire alone, but from trust, commitment, and alignment with God’s truth over cultural norms. This calls us to examine our hearts, surrender distorted views, and pursue love rooted in Christ’s grace and faithfulness.

All Devotionals

A Stronger Yes

Romans 12:9 calls us to love sincerely—hating what is evil and clinging to what is good—by protecting faithfulness not merely with a “no” to temptation, but with a stronger daily “yes” to covenant love, purity, and intentional pursuit. Whether married, single, or healing from past failure, we’re invited to guard what’s sacred through sincere choices fueled by grace, showing up again and again with love that fights for what matters.

Infatuation Is A Liar

Proverbs 5:3–5 warns that what feels sweet and harmless at first can end in bitterness and ruin, because infatuation edits reality and hides the cost. God calls us to bring these secret longings into the light, re-anchor our hearts in His truth, and choose covenant faithfulness and real love over fantasy.

When the Vow Matters

Exodus 20:14 calls us to treat faithfulness as a sacred covenant, guarding our hearts early and often so we don’t trade lasting love and trust for momentary distraction. It invites us—single, married, healing, or rebuilding—to reflect God’s own steadfast love by protecting our vows and returning to Him with honesty, courage, and grace.

Questions

How long is each devotional?
+

About five minutes. One passage, a short reflection from Ed, and one thing to do or say that day.

Can we read these together as a couple?
+

Yes, and most couples do. Each one ends with something meant to be talked about out loud, not just thought about. Two chairs and a cup of coffee is the whole setup.

Do we have to start at the beginning?

No. Every devotional stands on its own. Start with whatever fits your season right now and read them in any order.
