Maybe you've been coming home late from work, or perhaps your evenings are consumed by your favorite hobbies. It's easy for daily routines to drift into separate orbits, each of you occupied with personal goals and tasks. Over time, it might feel like you're two ships passing in the night, meant to be together but rarely sharing the same space.
The heart of a covenant relationship, however, is forged not in grand gestures but in everyday choices to prioritize each other. Just as Jesus washed the feet of His disciples, we are called to serve and notice one another in the smallest of moments. These acts of intentionality remind us that our marriage is not an automatic contract but a living, breathing commitment renewed each day.
