Memorize/Reflect- “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her…” (Ephesians 5:25)

Reflection- What makes for a good marriage and how can I cheer on those I know are seeking to build a Christ-honoring married life?

Discussion- What are some of the ways this world and Satan try to break down marriages?  What can we do to resist these attacks?

Prayer Direction- Pray for one married couple every day this week.  Ask God to help them love, serve, and bless each other.

“Live It!” Challenge- If you are married, plan an unexpected and surprising act of service for your spouse.  If you are not married, let a married couple you are praying for know you are supporting them in prayer.

February Prayer Focus: Continue with you’re A-Z Prayer.  If you have finished the alphabet, start over and dig deeper, for new attributes you might have never celebrated before.

January-March: Continue growing in your discipline of fasting.
