Day 12

31 DAY MARRIAGE DEVOTIONAL

Daily Devotions to Bring You Closer to

Your spouse and Closer to God

Written By: DAVE & ASHLEY WILLIS

Reflecting on the importance of laughter in marriage, I've realized that choosing joy is one of the strongest bonds a couple can share. In my own experience, when my partner and I faced difficult times, intentionally sharing moments of laughter helped us reconnect and remind ourselves that our love and faith are bigger than any struggle. Laughter serves as a healing balm, soothing tension and renewing hope. Even when we don't "feel" happy, cultivating joy that comes from faith provides a reliable foundation. This devotional's focus on rejoicing in the Lord (Philippians 4:4) truly resonates with me because it reassures couples that joy is not just a fleeting emotion tied to circumstances, but a deeper, spiritual joy rooted in faith. For couples seeking practical ways to incorporate laughter, try to find humor in small daily moments or share funny memories together. Make laughter a priority, even if challenges arise, as this choice reflects a trust in enduring love and God’s eternal joy. Because joy transcends temporary pain, embracing laughter is a faith-filled declaration that no matter what, "We will get through this!" Maintaining this mindset has strengthened my relationship and deepened my spiritual walk, encouraging me and my spouse to look forward with hope and gratitude every day.
