Don’t Ever Stop Wooing Your Spouse

Think back to when you first met the person you love.

You were intentional.

You paid attention to the little things. You wanted to look your best. You wanted to make them smile. You looked forward to hearing from them and finding reasons to spend time together.

You were curious about them.

You wanted to know what made them happy, what they enjoyed, what made them feel loved, and what made their heart come alive.

And you kept showing up because you wanted their attention and affection.

But then marriage happened.

And somehow, for many couples, the pursuit slowly stops.

Why?

Don’t Ever Stop Wooing Your Spouse.

Think back to when you first met the person you love.

You were intentional.

You paid attention to the little things. You wanted to look your best. You wanted to make them smile. You looked forward to hearing from them and finding reasons to spend time together.

You were curious about them.

You wanted to know what made them happy, what they enjoyed, what made them feel loved, and what made their heart come alive.

And you kept showing up because you wanted their attention and affection.

But then marriage happened.

And somehow, for many couples, the pursuit slowly stops.

Why?

Does marriage mean the pursuit is over?

Does becoming someone's husband or wife mean you no longer need to win their heart?

I have been with my wife, Evelyn, for 14 years, and I have never allowed myself to see her as simply "my wife."

When I look at Evelyn today, I still see the woman who first caught my attention.

The woman I wanted to know.

The woman whose smile I noticed.

The woman whose heart I wanted to understand.

That initial spark grew into something deeper, but I never want familiarity to make me careless with her.

I still want to woo Evelyn.

I still want to make her feel special.

I still want to surprise her, make her smile, spend time with her, and remind her that she is loved.

I still want to pursue her heart—not because she is difficult to reach, but because she is worth pursuing every single day.

And honestly, I believe that mindset has been an important anchor in our marriage.

One thing Evelyn and I have learned over the years is this:

Never stop being curious about your spouse.

You may have been married for 5, 10, 20, or even 40 years, but there are still things to discover about the person sitting across from you.

People change.

Interests change.

Dreams evolve.

Needs change.

The person you married years ago is still the same person in many ways, but they are also growing and becoming.

Evelyn's needs today aren't exactly the same as they were when we first started.

And neither are mine.

So don't assume you already know everything about your spouse simply because you share a home, children, responsibilities, and years of history.

Ask questions.

Pay attention.

Listen to what they say—and sometimes to what they don't say.

Take an active interest in their world.

Ask them:

"What has been on your mind lately?"

"Is there anything you wish we did more often together?"

"What makes you feel loved these days?"

"What's something you've been dreaming about that I may not know?"

And don't just ask.

Listen. Remember. Act on it.

Keep dating them.

Keep learning them.

Keep choosing them.

Keep finding little ways to make them feel wanted.

Because love can become familiar without becoming intentional.

And when we stop pursuing our spouse, we can slowly begin taking their love for granted.

Marriage is not where the pursuit ends.

Marriage is where you get the privilege of pursuing the same person for the rest of your life.

So here's something to think about today:

When was the last time you truly pursued your spouse's heart?

Not their body.

Not their help.

Not what they can do for you.

Their heart.

How many years have you been together, and what's one small thing you can do this week to make your spouse feel pursued, appreciated, and loved?

Share it in the comments. Someone else may get an idea that could strengthen their marriage too.

Do You Still Enjoy Each Other?
We've spent six days talking about something that can sound almost too simple for marriage:
enjoying each other.
But perhaps it isn't simple at all.
Because enjoying your spouse requires attention.

It requires curiosity.
It requires time.
It requires putting down the phone sometimes.
It requires remembering that the person beside you is not simply your co-parent, financial partner, housemate or problem-solving teammate.
They are the person you chose to share your life with.
Ecclesiastes 9:9 says:
“Enjoy life with your wife, whom you love, all the days of this meaningless life that God has given you under the sun—all your meaningless days. For this is your lot in life and in your toilsome labor under the sun.”
There is something beautiful about those words:

Live joyfully.
Scripture does not promise a marriage without difficulty.
There will be arguments.
There will be disappointment.
There will be exhaustion.
There will be seasons when one person carries more than usual.
There will be days when neither of you feels particularly romantic.
The goal is not constant happiness.
The goal is a marriage where love, friendship, commitment, forgiveness and joy continue to have room to grow.

“According to the Bible, the marriage act is more than a physical act. It is an act of sharing. It is an act of communion. It is an act of total self-giving wherein the husband gives himself completely to the wife, and the wife gives herself to the husband in such a way that the two actually become one flesh.”

So ask yourself today:
Do I still enjoy being with my spouse?
Can we still laugh together?
Can we still talk about things that have nothing to do with bills, children or responsibilities?
Am I still curious about who my spouse is becoming?
Do I make time for companionship, not just cooperation?

And perhaps most importantly:
Does my spouse experience me as someone who genuinely enjoys having them in my life?
If the answer is yes, protect that friendship.
If the answer is no, don't panic.
Don't turn the question into blame.

Let it become an invitation.
Start small.
A conversation.
A walk.
A meal.
A laugh.
A prayer.
A memory.

A question you've never asked.
One small moment of connection can become the beginning of many more.
One day the children will grow up.
The demanding seasons will change.
The excitement of the wedding day will be a distant memory.
And you will still have each other.

So don't build a marriage where you only know how to survive life together.
Build a marriage where you still know how to enjoy living it together.
❤️ Love deeply. Choose each other. Keep learning each other. And never stop enjoying the person you married.
Love That Lasts — Building stronger marriages, one practical truth at a time.

Enjoyment Is Something You Can Rebuild
Maybe you're reading this and thinking:

“That sounds nice, but we don't really enjoy each other anymore.”*
If that's where you are, don't assume the story is over.
Sometimes enjoyment disappears because life has been heavy for too long.
Sometimes there has been hurt.
Sometimes exhaustion has taken over.
Sometimes you've simply forgotten how to be together without discussing responsibilities.
The answer isn't to pretend everything is fine.
And it isn't to force yourself to feel something you don't feel.

Start smaller.
Start with presence.
Start with one conversation.
Start with one walk.
Start with one shared meal without phones.
Start with asking a question and genuinely listening to the answer.
Start with remembering something you used to enjoy doing together.
Then do it again.

You don't have to recreate the beginning of your relationship.
You're not trying to become the couple you were ten years ago.
You're building friendship in the marriage you have today.
And sometimes the first step is simply admitting:
“We've been surviving. I want us to enjoy each other again.”
That sentence doesn't have to be an accusation.
It can be an invitation.
“Let's find our way back to each other.”
Remember, a strong marriage is not one where everything is always easy.

It is one where both people continue to make room for connection.
So today, make one small choice that says:
“You are more important to me than the rush of this day.”
Put down the phone.
Cancel one unnecessary distraction.
Sit together.
Take a walk.
Make tea.
Laugh about something.
Ask a question.
Hold hands.
Pray together.

Whatever fits your marriage — just be present.
And if things have been difficult between you, start gently. Sometimes rebuilding friendship takes time, honesty and, where needed, help from a trusted counsellor or pastor.
Tomorrow is the final day of our six-day journey.
We'll bring it all together with a simple biblical invitation: live joyfully with the person you love.

Make Room for Joy
Marriage can become so serious.
There are bills to pay.
Children to raise.
Work to complete.
Problems to solve.
People to care for.

Responsibilities don't disappear simply because you're married.
But neither should joy.
Sometimes couples think they need a big holiday, an expensive date or a perfect weekend to reconnect.
They don't.

Joy often lives in much smaller places.
A shared joke.
A walk after dinner.
Cooking together.
Dancing in the kitchen.
Listening to an old song.
Watching something that makes you both laugh.
Taking a drive with nowhere important to go.
Remembering an embarrassing moment from years ago and laughing about it again.
Trying a new restaurant.
Playing a game.
Sitting outside and talking after everyone else has gone to bed.
These things may seem insignificant.
They aren't.

Small moments of enjoyment create shared memories.
They remind you that your relationship is more than a partnership for getting things done.
They communicate something simple:
“I like being with you.”
And that message matters.
Of course, not every spouse enjoys the same things. Don't assume your idea of fun is automatically your spouse's idea of fun.

Learn what brings them joy.
Maybe they want adventure.
Maybe they want quiet.
Maybe they want conversation.
Maybe they want music.
Maybe they simply want an uninterrupted cup of coffee with you.
The activity isn't the point.
Connection is the point.

So here's today's challenge:
Do one thing together that serves no practical purpose.
Don't do it because the house needs cleaning.
Don't do it because there is an appointment.
Don't do it because someone expects it.
Do it simply because you enjoy each other.
Tomorrow, we'll take this one step further: how do we intentionally rebuild enjoyment when it has been missing for a while?

24/09/2026

Don't Stop Being Curious About Your Spouse
One of the easiest mistakes in marriage is assuming:
“I already know everything about you.”
After years together, you know their routines. You know their favourite foods. You know their habits. You know the stories you've heard a hundred times.

But knowing someone's history is not the same as knowing who they are becoming.
People change.
Your spouse has new experiences, new concerns, new dreams, new fears, new interests and new hopes.

And sometimes we stop asking questions because we assume we already know the answers.
But curiosity is one of the quiet ways we keep friendship alive.
Ask:
“What are you looking forward to these days?”
“What's something you've changed your mind about recently?”
“What is something you'd love for us to experience together?”
“What makes you feel most rested?”
“What is something you miss from an earlier season of your life?”
And when your spouse answers, don't immediately turn the conversation into advice.

Listen.
There is something deeply affirming about being known — and something equally powerful about being willing to know your spouse again and again.
You are not married to a photograph of the person you met years ago.
You are married to a living person who is still growing.
So keep discovering them.

Learn what makes them laugh now.
Learn what they are dreaming about now.
Learn what is difficult for them now.
Learn what brings them joy now.

And allow yourself to be surprised.
Because one of the beautiful things about a lifelong marriage is that you can spend decades with the same person and still discover something new.

Don't let familiarity become the end of curiosity.
Tonight, ask your spouse:
*“What's something about you that you think I might not know anymore?”*
Then listen without defending, correcting or explaining.
Tomorrow, we'll talk about something every marriage needs more of: making room for joy.

23/09/2026

When Marriage Becomes a To-Do List
Sometimes a marriage doesn't fall apart.
It simply becomes busy.
The conversations are still happening, but most of them sound like this:
“Did you pay the bill?”
“What time are you picking up the children?”
“What's for dinner?”
“Did you remember the appointment?”
“Can you handle this?”

There is nothing wrong with these conversations. A family has responsibilities, and someone has to manage them.
The problem comes when all the conversations become about managing life.
You can love someone deeply and still become emotionally distant from them.
There may be no major conflict. No betrayal. No dramatic crisis.
Just two tired people who gradually stop making space for the friendship that brought them together.
Eventually, they can become excellent partners in running a household while becoming poorer companions in experiencing life.

That's why marriage needs conversations that have no practical purpose.
Talk about a memory.
Tell a silly story.
Ask your spouse what they are thinking about.
Talk about something you saw that made you laugh.
Ask what they would do if they had an entirely free Saturday.
Sit together without trying to solve anything.
The goal isn't to avoid serious conversations. Marriage needs those too.

The goal is to make sure responsibility doesn't crowd out relationship.
Because one day, the children will grow up. The urgent tasks will change. The schedule will look different.
And underneath all those responsibilities will still be two people.
So don't wait for life to become less busy before you reconnect.
Make room for the friendship now.

Tonight, try this:
Put your phones away for 15 minutes and ask your spouse:
“If we had an entire day with no responsibilities, what would you want us to do together?”
Then listen.
Tomorrow, we'll talk about something every long marriage needs: continuing to discover the person you married.

22/09/2026

What If You Still Love Each Other — But Have Stopped Enjoying Each Other?

What if one of the things your marriage needs most isn't another serious conversation, another plan, or another solution — but simply learning to enjoy each other again?
Marriage is often described through love, commitment, sacrifice and responsibility.
And rightly so.

But there is another part of marriage we can quietly lose beneath the weight of everyday life: enjoying the person we married.
Not just loving them.
Not just providing for each other.

Not just raising children, paying bills and solving problems.
But actually enjoying being together.
Think back to the beginning of your relationship. You wanted to talk. You looked forward to seeing each other. You laughed about silly things. You asked questions. You found reasons to spend time together.

Then life happened.
Work became demanding. Children arrived. Bills increased. Responsibilities multiplied. And gradually, the relationship may have become centred almost entirely around what needs to be done next.
“Have you paid the bill?”
“Did you pick up the children?”
“What are we eating?”
“Did you call the plumber?”

Necessary conversations. But they cannot be the whole marriage.
Marriage is not only about managing life together. It is also about experiencing life together.
A lasting marriage needs room for friendship, laughter, curiosity and ordinary moments of joy.
So here's the question for today:

Do you still enjoy being with your spouse?
Not whether you still love them.
Not whether you would stand by them in a crisis.
But whether you genuinely enjoy their company.

If that answer feels difficult, don't panic. This isn't a verdict on your marriage.
It may simply be an invitation.
An invitation to start noticing each other again.
Tomorrow, we'll talk about what happens when marriage slowly becomes a to-do list — even when the love is still there.

YOU MAY NOT BE IN LOVE WITH THEM
“Are you in love with the person — or with the way they make you feel?”

Think back to when it all began. The constant thoughts. The way a single text from them could change your whole day. The feeling of being chosen, wanted, alive in a way you had not felt before. You called it love. Everyone does.
But here is an uncomfortable question worth sitting with: were you falling for who they are — or falling for how being with them made you feel about yourself?

Much of what we call “falling in love” in the early stages is not actually love for the other person at all. It is enjoyment of a feeling — the feeling of being desired, admired, special, alive. That feeling is not sinful or shameful. It is human. But it is self-focused by nature. It is about what you are receiving, not yet about who they truly are.

Real love asks a harder question: who is this person when the mood they create in me is not pleasant? Who are they on the day they are tired, short-tempered, unimpressive, or simply themselves without performing for you? Love that only survives on good feelings is not yet love — it is attachment to a sensation, wearing love’s name.

This is not a weakness found only in one gender. Men fall for the confidence a woman’s attention gives them. Women fall for the security or excitement a man’s pursuit gives them. Neither s*x has a monopoly on loving a feeling instead of a person — and neither should feel singled out for it. It is simply where every love story begins, and where every mature love story must move beyond.

Ask yourself honestly: would I still choose this person if the thrill disappeared tomorrow? If the answer makes you uneasy, that is not a reason for despair — it is an invitation to start loving the person, not just the performance.
1 Corinthians 13:4-5
"Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;"
Application: Notice the phrase “seeketh not her own.” Real love is not measured by what it receives, but by what it gives — which is exactly what separates loving a person from loving a feeling.

Sit with your spouse or partner tonight and ask each other this question out loud: “What do you love about who I am — not just about how I make you feel?” Let the answer be specific. Let it be honest.

If the early excitement in your relationship has faded and you have quietly worried that means love is dying — breathe. It may simply mean the real work of loving an actual person, not a feeling, is finally beginning.
A feeling can fall in love with you overnight. Only a person can choose to love you for a lifetime.
Tomorrow, we move from the fire of attraction to something quieter and far more durable: the friendship that must live underneath every lasting marriage.
