Reading: Ephesians 5:21-33; 1 Peter 5:8

Devotional: Satan does not attack empty fortresses; he targets places of greatest potential impact. Your marriage, present or future, is under spiritual assault because it reflects Christ's relationship with His church. The enemy knows that a divided home cannot stand strong in kingdom work—Notice Paul's warning in 1 Corinthians 7:5 about extended separation creating opportunity for temptation. But Satan's tactics extend beyond sexual temptation—he uses attitudes of criticism, actions of neglect, financial stress, and communication breakdowns. The Christian home requires vigilant spiritual protection. Prayer together is not optional; it is the defensive wall around your covenant. Worship together aligns your hearts with God's purposes. Humility before each other disarms the enemy's greatest weapon: pride. Your marriage altar must be protected with the same intensity you protect your personal walk with God.

Reflection Question: What spiritual disciplines am I neglecting that leave my relationship vulnerable to attack?
