Bringing New Life to Relationships Through Daily Routines

When feeling overwhelmed, it's easy to get stuck in a rut, and our daily routines can become monotonous. However, it's in these ordinary moments that we can discover new life for our relationships. The Bible teaches us to "live a life worthy of the Lord" (Colossians 1:10), which means we should be intentional about using our daily routines as opportunities to grow closer to our spouses and to God.

One way to bring new life to our relationships is by acknowledging and addressing our own difficulties, rather than just focusing on our spouses' shortcomings. As the provided text suggests, "Unless you learn to open the door of your life completely and let God in from your first waking moment of each new day, you will be working on the wrong level throughout the day." By prioritizing our relationship with God and being open to His guidance, we can gain a fresh perspective on our daily routines and find ways to make them more enjoyable and meaningful.

Incorporating spiritual practices, such as prayer and fellowship, into our daily routines can also help bring new life to our relationships. For example, setting aside time for prayer and spending quality time with our spouses can help us stay connected and focused on what truly matters. As the text suggests, "Schedule it for right before bed" can be a great way to end the day on a positive note and cultivate a sense of unity and love in our relationships. By making our daily routines a priority and incorporating spiritual practices, we can find new life and meaning in our relationships, even in the midst of chaos and overwhelm.
