Welcome back! It's day six!

How's it going? Are you beginning to feel closer to your spouse? Are you feeling closer to God? We hope that this time in God's Word, in prayer, and being together has been a blessing, and hopefully fun. 

In today's world most of us are always on the go. If you have kids, well that just brings another kind of busyness into your life. Being able to set aside time to be together as a husband and a wife takes planning, energy, and patience. Hopefully this week has helped you to set aside that time.

As we move into this day, we want to encourage you to talk about how this experience has impacted your relationship. How has it been spending time in God's word together, discussing what you've read, and praying together? We'd love to hear from you! Share in the comments below or send us an email!

Day Six's Scripture Readings

Reading One: James 1:1-8
Not what you might think of when you think about scripture for husbands and wives, but hear us out. Marriage is filled with challenges, struggles, difficult decisions, and moments of feeling like you're not prepared for what you have to deal with. James offers us the reminder that these challenging moments are the times God uses to grow us and make us more complete. Then James encourages us to seek God in the challenging moments asking Him to show up and provide. 

Reading Two: Song of Solomon/Song of Songs 6

Husband's Read the following verses...
verse 1
verses 4 - 10
verse 13

Wive's Read the following verses...
verses 2 & 3
verses 11 & 12

A Great Book To Reignite The Spark

Amy and I read this book at the end of last year. Written by Bill & Pam Farrel, Red Hot Monogamy, is a funny, insightful, and honest book about intimacy within marriage. We highly recommend you order a copy and begin reading with your spouse. You will laugh, you will talk, and you will definitely lock the door to the bedroom after each chapter.

Discussion Questions

Question 1:
- Think of a time in your marriage when you and your spouse had to face a difficult challenge or struggle. Take a few minutes to remember how you felt and what you though during that time. How did you see God moving through that season?

Question 2:
- What is something that you and your spouse are missing in your marriage? Is it communication? Is it honesty? Is it trust? Maybe it's wisdom to help you make an important decision. Make a list of items that you would like to bring before God in prayer.

Question 3:
- How can you support each other, especially during your next challenge? Make a list of ways you can support one another in the future.

A Prayer for Both of You

Gracious Father, You call us to come to you asking for wisdom in the times of difficulty and challenge. As we seek to grow closer to you and to each other, give us your wisdom that we might choose to seek you in the midst of trials. Remind us that we are a team, working together as we live out our faith. Strengthen our marriage, our relationship with each other, and our relationship with you. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
Remember, you can add to this prayer time by praying for the needs and asks that you have for your relationship and family.

Now Go And Be Together

As you read through Song of Solomon, chapter 6 teases the senses with the content of its verses. It describes the woman and her lover exploring each other in a very sensual way. Your relationship with your spouse is one that allows for the opportunity to explore one another, enjoying each other. Just remember to be sensitive to each other. Make sure you are both comfortable with the exploration.

Have fun as you go and explore your spouse.
