Resources To Strengthen Your Marriage

 

Lent Meditations for Married Couples 2024

 

Lent is a penitential season. It is a good time to grow in love and holiness with our spouse. But it is not always easy for busy couples to find time to do Lenten practices together.

We offer this series to help you and your spouse stay connected during the holy season of Lent.

We invite you to take a short time—about 20 minutes a day—to do something for your marriage. On Easter morning, you will find greater unity, an increased appreciation for learning more about each other, and a gratitude for the small ways you’ve chosen to show your love and affection. 

Set yourself up for success! Pick a time of day you can be consistent with. Turn off your phones and other distractions. Light a candle. Sit close together and take turns reading the parts out loud. We have selected one of the daily readings for you to read each day. It is followed by a meditation, a time for quiet reflection, discussion, a blessing, and a prayer for unity.
