29 - Love’s motivation
Ephesians 6 vs 7 : With goodwill doing service, as to the lord, and not to men

Before you see your spouse again today, pray for them by name and for their needs. Whether it comes easy for you or not, say “I love you,” then express love to them in some tangible way. Go to God in prayer again, thanking Him for giving you the privilege of loving this one special person—unconditionally, the way He loves both of you.

Pray for her esrly morning. later I will say I love you



the last time my wife said I was behaving like a child for always wanting things to work. It cut really deep to realize my efforts according to her was nothing to her.



Felt positive about this one or so I thought. Then my husbands niece came from up country and normal is so nice to be and it was oh hello. That made me realise that his family is against me and that makes this whole thing even harder

Just continue to pray for them and yourself as well. Let God do the mending and don't focus on the family focus on him. Doesn't matter who dislikes you the relationship is between you,God and your spouse. Not you, God, spouse, and family. Pray for them also. Display grace every chance you get to ease tensions.


I am really struggling to continue, but I know I have to be obedient to God, was really hoping this would save my marriage but it feels like everything is falling apart

Keep praying and talking to God.


would love to say this but everytime I do or text it, she says I'm in denial and to stop thinking it'll be different. I need to move on!

Let God do his work on this one. Keep being who he made you to be, keep praying to her, for council, and also focus on bettering yourself. Let God reveal himself through you. Also of it's his will then he will soften the hard heart. Let him work. Have a blessed day sir.


This will motivate me to show love more than saying it. PUT IT TO ACTION!!!



"I love you" comes very easy from me. I've told her today, she is the beginning and the end, she gave me direction.. And she is my truth North. I'm thanking God for the amazing opportunity he gave me to know true love.



Prayed for my spouse today it's not getting easier though. Everyday I question what our marriage really was and if I'm fooling myself thinking she can be true and faithful. She trying to prove it now but it feels too little to late sometimes.

it's never too late, keep praying for your own heart to be softened.

When we pray we have to have faith and if shes trying to prove it then that's the prayer working. Try to keep the faith and prayers up. Yall can do this!


someone please give me motivation to not give up right now. I got emotional today and cried out my undying love in such a way she looked disgusted with me and said some pretty hurtful things. I really want to give up today. and I don't.

I received a call this morning from my 4 year old daughter out of the blue, she never calls me in the morning. the first words out of her mouth was "daddy, I want you and mommy to be together". I don't know if that was a sign from God but it gave me the boost I needed to keep trying and not to give up yet.

I've been sober for quite a while to add to this but I haven't wanted to have a drink more than I do right now in a long time. I almost died a couple months ago from a minor surgery that went majorly wrong. in this moment I really wish I had. not really feeling God's reasoning for not taking me then when I still had hope. atleast then I could have died almost happy. I'm not going to drink but this is the worst I've felt in a very long time.


thank you LORD for my husband. I love him so much♥️



Im now at this point with it. its been very difficult and I cant say my marriage is any closer to being saved, but I can say that my mind is at peace and I have a new found joy that I didn't have at day 1.
