Every strong structure needs a foundation. In marriage, that foundation is built upon principles—the timeless truths of God’s Word that hold us together when life tries to tear us apart.
In our Pamper Your Marriage journey, we call these the Pillars of Principles: Prayer. Action. Meditation. Praise. Encourage Yourself. Reconciliation. Each one is more than a practice—it’s a posture of the heart that keeps your covenant standing strong.
Principles are not rules meant to restrict; they are promises meant to protect. God’s principles guide us to love like Him, forgive like Him, and serve like Him. When we honor these pillars, we’re not just pampering our marriage—we’re partnering with Heaven.
When couples pray together, act in love, meditate on His Word, speak praise, encourage themselves in the Lord, and reconcile daily, they’re modeling how Christ pampers His Bride, the Church.
He prays for us. “He ever lives to make intercession.” (Hebrews 7:25)
He acts in love. “While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
He renews our minds through His Word. (Romans 12:2)
He delights in our praise. (Psalm 22:3)
He encourages us through His Spirit. (John 14:26–27)
He reconciles us daily. (2 Corinthians 5:18–19)
These are not just marriage principles—they are Kingdom principles, modeled by our Bridegroom, Jesus Christ. When we live by them, our homes become a reflection of His heart.
Ask yourselves:
Which pillar is strongest in our marriage right now?
Which one needs rebuilding?
How can we return to God’s blueprint and let Him be the Master Builder again?
If this spoke to your heart, don’t stop here! The Pamper Your Marriage Book and the 30 - Day Workbook are a devotional experience that helps couples live out these pillars day by day—with guided prayers, Scripture reflections, and simple daily actions that bring you closer together and closer to God.
Prayer: Lord, thank You for being our firm foundation. Teach us to build our marriage on Your principles. May our love reflect Yours—steady, pure, and full of grace. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
