Everybody seems to think they have the answer to a happy marriage…and most don’t mind telling you what you are doing wrong.
Here’s another piece of marriage advice… that also happens to be a fact! The healthiest, happiest marriages in the U.S. are those in which Christian couples actively practice their faith. This was studied by Focus on the Family.
They key to avoiding marital crises (including divorce) and to enriching married life is for husbands and wives to go beyond believing what Christianity teaches to regularly doing what it teaches — from attending church to reading the Bible to praying.
“What our research found is that married couples who act on their faith together — those believers social scientists call ‘convictional Christians’ — have healthier, more flourishing marriages,” “The data is stark: Convictional Christians are nearly twice as likely as non-Christians to avoid a marital crisis.”
Yes…this means those couples who work on their Walk with Jesus…also walk closer and better with their spouse.
