A major advantage of marriage is spiritual reinforcement; marriage should add spiritual strength to you, not deplete it. Arm yourself and ensure your spouse is fully armed with the Word so that the day a battle comes, it is won with ease. If only one person in the marriage is armed, he or she will have to fight alone, thereby prolonging the battle. It is not the duty of the wife or the husband to be more spiritual. The husband is the leader and should take the lead spiritually, but as a wife you also must follow suit and not relax. The challenges come for the both of you, not one person in the marriage. If you faint as a couple in the day of trouble, dont blame anybody, its because your strength is small (Proverbs 24:10). Please take your family altar very seriously; pray together, study The Word together, challenge each other to grow, and engage in other spiritual exercises together. Dont allow your responsibilities to keep you from doing that which is most needful, remember marriage is a spiritual house!! Salvation is a personal journey, so build yourself up as an individual but remember that you are one flesh when married, so doing so together is of utmost importance if you dont want to be overcome by the challenges that will come. Do what works with your schedule and dont feel condemned because you cannot do it everyday. Just start somehow. Singles, take note!!! If more couples spent more time building themselves up spiritually together, they will have less time for, and they will give no room to anything that is contrary to spirituality!!
