Spiritual Warfare and the Marriage Altar
Reading: Ephesians 6:10-18
Devotional: The enemy targets marriages because they reflect Christ's relationship with the Church. Spiritual warfare isn't dramatic—it's subtle. It enters through unguarded attitudes: bitterness, neglect, pride, unforgiveness. It exploits pressure points: finances, parenting conflicts, past wounds, communication breakdowns. Awareness means recognizing these openings. Allegiance means keeping God first—praying together, worshiping together, protecting spiritual unity. You cannot fight flesh-and-blood battles with flesh-and-blood weapons. When conflict arises, remember: your spouse isn't the enemy; the enemy is the enemy. Put on the full armor of God together. Pray over your home. Guard your hearts. A marriage rooted in Christ can withstand any storm, but only if both partners remain spiritually vigilant and committed to fighting for, not against, each other.
