Before any structure can rise, a foundation must be laid. And when it comes to marriage, the blueprint matters. Too many couples enter marriage with passion but without preparation. Emotion alone cannot sustain a covenant. The question every husband and wife must ask is this: What are we building this marriage on?

Our springboard for today’s discussion is:"Everyone who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock." — Matthew 7:24

Jesus doesn’t promise a life without storms. He promises that what is built on Him will stand through them. A Christ-centered marriage is not one that simply includes God in difficult times—it’s one that starts with Him and is sustained by Him every single day.

When you build your marriage on Christ:

* His Word becomes the standard—not emotions or culture.

* Prayer becomes your defense—not pride or avoidance.

* Forgiveness becomes your practice—not just a theory.

This kind of foundation requires intentional agreement between husband and wife to put Christ first in all things—decisions, finances, communication, intimacy, and leadership. It means choosing surrender over control, unity over division, and obedience over convenience.

If your marriage feels shaky, don’t be discouraged. Foundations can be repaired. Today is the day to begin again, to recommit to building on the only solid ground: Jesus Christ.

Question of the Day:What is your marriage truly built on—and is Christ at the center?

Mini Call to Action:Together or individually, pray today: “Lord, be the foundation of our home. Align us to Your Word and Your ways.”

Let’s Pray:Lord, we choose to build on You. Let every part of our marriage—seen and unseen—be anchored in Your truth. Teach us to follow Your blueprint and trust Your hands as the Master Builder. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Let’s Get To Work!Because the strength of your marriage is not found in feelings—it’s found in your foundation.
