Marriage Challenge: Greet Your Spouse Well

Marriage Challenge: Greet Your Spouse Well

 

How do you greet your spouse? Do you give them a kiss first thing in the morning? Are you excited to see them after a long day’s work? Or do you all but ignore them?

 

All of us are guilty of greeting our spouse poorly from time to time. Today’s marriage challenge comes directly from the book The Love Dare by Alex Kendrick and Stephen Kendrick. They write, “Think of a specific way you’d like to greet your spouse today. Do it with a smile and with enthusiasm. Then determine to change your greeting to reflect your love for them.”

 

Let’s take on this challenge for the next two weeks straight and see how special we can make our spouse feel every time we greet them.

 

“Greet one another with a kiss of love.

Peace be to you all who are in Christ.”

-1 Peter 5:14 NASB

 

—ADAM WILLINGHAM
