Two Simple Ways to Pursue Your Spouse
Do you feel like you and your spouse are growing closer together, or are you slowly drifting apart? Oneness in marriage doesn’t happen automatically. It requires intentional choices, daily habits, and a willingness to invite God into your relationship.
In this episode of Family Vision, Rob and Amy Rienow share a message recorded live at the Great Marriage Getaway at Ridgecrest Conference Center in North Carolina. Drawing from their own marriage and family experiences, they explore two practical ways couples can pursue greater unity: praying for one another and speaking words that strengthen rather than damage their relationship.
Rob and Amy also share how their family backgrounds shaped their understanding of marriage, why even a short daily prayer can make a difference, and how the words we speak about our spouses—especially when they’re not around—can influence our own hearts and attitudes.
