These daily marriage devotionals are compiled from verses that we have shared with Christian couples in many counseling sessions over many years. Please read one per day and meditate on how it applies to your marriage. (Note: if you are not certain you are a Christian, please read The Sinner’s Prayer)
and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. (Revelation 7:17b)
Revelation 7:17 says, “For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” This verse is a beautiful picture of the love and care that God has for His people. It is a reminder that no matter what challenges or hardships we face in this life, God is always with us, providing for us and comforting us.
As a married couple, it is important to remember that God is the source of our hope and strength. When we are facing difficulties in our marriage, we can turn to Him for comfort and guidance. We can trust that He is working everything out for our good and that He will bring us through any trial.
One way to hold onto this hope is by reading and meditating on passages like Revelation 7:17, reminding ourselves of God’s promise to wipe away every tear and be with us through every circumstance. We can also pray together, asking God to help us trust in Him and find comfort in His presence. By relying on God and His promises, we can find strength and peace in our marriage, even in the midst of difficult times.
Another way to implement this verse is to wipe away each others tears. Our gift of loving service to one another can make our marriage seem like heaven on earth. But failure to love one another in this special Christ-like way is more likely to make marriage feel like hell on earth.
So remember that even in heaven there will be tears that need to be wiped away by our loving savior. And don’t get too frustrated by trials and tribulations that happen here.

If you miss one, two, or many days, don’t worry about it and don’t try to catch up. Just start where you are and keep going. We have found the Holy Spirit can prompt you to return to just the passage you need for today.
This is an ongoing labor of love because these marriage devotionals will never be finished, but we have to start somewhere, so we will update often. We appreciate your support and prayers because this is a work of God not us. And please forgive us because we have never found a verse that doesn’t apply to marriage somehow.
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. (Proverbs 30:5)
