Well, the good news is we have the best marriage manual, offering guidance on how to maintain, prevent, and spot issues while considering general overall care. This marriage manual is called the Bible. So, grab it, and let\u2019s dig to discover what God has to say because He has all the answers to get your marriage back on the right track.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"pelcro-embedded-paywall\"><span\/><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Signs Your Marriage Needs a Tune-Up<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Every couple will wade through some murky waters at some point, but there are usually glaringly obvious signs that keep couples stuck in a negative pattern, rather than moving forward with hope and purpose.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Some common warning signs may include lack of communication, emotional disconnect, or distributions due to busy lifestyles, work schedules, or family events. At other times, they may be based on intimacy, frustration, or past hurts, causing resentment or bitterness to take root.<\/p>\n<p>Then there are the \u201csilent killers.\u201d It may not be obvious at first, but as time goes on, you both begin to wonder what happened to your love. This is when you may feel more like roommates or become so hyper-focused on certain issues that there seems to be little to no hope in conquering these obstacles.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is that marriage is hard, and it doesn\u2019t always come with hazard lights and warnings. So, when the \u201ccheck engine\u201d (a.k.a. prompt from the Holy Spirit) calls for us to tune up our marriage, we mustn\u2019t hesitate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So, without further delay, let\u2019s get ready to stand firm in our faith by tuning into God and starting to build a marriage that will honor and glorify Him every season.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Practical Prevention for Newlyweds<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Oh, the smell of a new car can bring on a wave of excitement like no other. Its shiny exterior, with no mud on the tires and a pristine interior, presents new opportunities and limitless possibilities. It\u2019s easy to believe that tune-ups are not really necessary at this stage, but charting into this new and unknown territory requires forethought, prayer, and purposeful intention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Prevention is key, and understanding God\u2019s design for marriage will guard your hearts and minds from the ways of this world. You must know God\u2019s view on love and marriage. First, God created marriage for a man and woman to be joined together to become \u201cone flesh\u201d under His authority (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblestudytools.com\/genesis\/2-24.html\">Genesis 2:24<\/a>). As both of you submit to Christ (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblestudytools.com\/ephesians\/5-21.html\">Ephesians 5:21<\/a>) and serve one another in love while embracing your roles, you invite God to be the head of your marriage.<\/p>\n<p>That said, we mustn\u2019t fail to address contentions that usually pop up in a newly formed marriage. Many conflicts fall into finance, intimacy, or unmet expectations. Openly discuss these issues by sharing your honest heart about what you expect from your union and listening to your spouse&#8217;s heart. Read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblestudytools.com\/proverbs\/3-9.html\">Proverbs 3:9<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblestudytools.com\/song-of-solomon\/passage\/?q=song of solomon+1:2-4\">Song of Solomon 1:2-4<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblestudytools.com\/colossians\/3-14.html\">Colossians 3:14<\/a> for more guidance and invite God into those conversations by praying together, seeking His will and way.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Managing and Maintaining Marriage in Midlife \u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The highs and lows of midlife can be exhilarating and yet extremely exhausting. One minute you\u2019re driving around a bunch of rowdy toddlers to the park with smashed goldfish all over the car seats, and then the next thing you know, you are tearfully watching them back out of the driveway. Lots of things have happened over the years. It\u2019s a wild and emotional ride. Marriages can be tested in this season, which is why managing and maintaining your sacred union intentionally is so crucial.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>God not only calls us into a purposeful partnership, but because of His great love for us, He calls us to procreate (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblestudytools.com\/genesis\/1-28.html\">Genesis 1:28<\/a>). However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblestudytools.com\/psalms\/113-9.html\">Psalm 113:9<\/a> states that God\u2019s plans are unique and that command varies from couple to couple. As we foster the next generation, according to God\u2019s plan, we must realize this comes with a huge responsibility and can place undue stress on a marriage. It can cause us to mix up our priorities as we\u00a0<span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">place<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0our children and their needs above our precious spouse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>To revive a marriage that has become consumed with busyness, the kiddos, or has just become stale over time, we must shift our focus and put the spotlight back on Jesus. He must be the center of our marriage, or it will easily succumb to the heavy burdens this season brings\u2014yes, even if they are good burdens, such as those tiny humans you created together.<\/p>\n<p>If your marriage is encountering some bumps, read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblestudytools.com\/ephesians\/passage\/?q=ephesians+5:21-33\">Ephesians 5:21-33<\/a> out loud together. Discuss it, and then share what God commands for a husband and wife. Make a promise to do your best to live it out, even if it comes with stumbling into God\u2019s goodness and grace &#8211; daily. Remember that marriage, God\u2019s way, serves one main purpose: to sanctify us and make us more like Christ! That comes with fine-tuning.<\/p>\n<p>This week, maintain your marriage by putting God first, and then fan the flames in your union by falling in love with one another again. Mark the calendar with a date night and\u00a0<span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">go<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0have fun together!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Tender Loving Care for Classic Marriages\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">My dad loves cars and owns several classics, including a 1984 Corvette and a 1956 Thunderbird. He has been buying and selling old cars since I was a little girl. I even had the privilege of attending several car auctions with him growing up. He used to always say you can tell if a classic car is in good shape by the hum of the engine. So, I would bend down and listen as they revved up!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I believe the<span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0same is true for our marriages.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You may be led to believe your marriage is all set, so you\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">might as well<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0place it on cruise control.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0After all, you and your sweetie are in a comfortable season and have settled down. You\u2019re both set in your ways and see no reason to change or mix things up. Yet, make no mistake about it, that engine (your marriage) still needs to be revved from time to time, and you need to be given lots of tender, loving care to stay together in one piece.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>First, it\u2019s\u00a0<span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">important<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0to recognize the beauty of this season. If your marriage has reached this point, against all odds, that is truly worth celebrating! Honor that and thank God for His abundant blessing over your marriage. At the same time, realize that there are some things you can do as empty nesters that will allow you to continue to keep God first and lead you both with purpose. Now is the time to be intentional about connecting and communicating your needs and finding a place to enjoy life together \u2013 just the two of you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblestudytools.com\/romans\/12-10.html\">Romans 12:10<\/a> says to be devoted to one another. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblestudytools.com\/ephesians\/4-32.html\">Ephesians 4:32<\/a> reminds us to embrace kindness, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblestudytools.com\/philippians\/passage\/?q=philippians+2:2-4\">Philippians 2:2-4<\/a> calls for us to share joy and mutual respect. Live out these truths in your marriage and rekindle your love with choices that honor one another. You can enjoy this time by taking up a fun hobby or traveling to places you\u2019ve put off. Maybe consider serving as a mentor couple in your church, as your love story would significantly impact this younger generation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>O God, we are so thankful that you offer us the precious gift of marriage. Please provide ways to honor and glorify You as we serve and love our spouse. If we need a tune-up, help us turn to You and seek Your wisdom so that we can find our way back to the love story You first created when we said, \u201cI do.\u201d We love because You first loved us, and for that, we are forever grateful.
