‘Keep on loving each other as brothers and sisters. Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it! Remember those in prison, as if you were there yourself. Remember also those being mistreated, as if you felt their pain in your own bodies. Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage. God will surely judge people who are immoral and those who commit adultery. Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?” Remember your leaders who taught you the word of God. Think of all the good that has come from their lives, and follow the example of their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. ‘ Hebrews 13:1-8(NLT)
It’s understandable why we don’t think of our spouse as a brother or sister, but this passage, which includes a great verse about marriage, begins with reminding us all to love one another as brothers and sisters in Christ. After reading the passage aloud together, talk about how the points it makes relate to your relationship. Talk about the ways that it can be easier to treat other Christian friends better than the ones under your own roof. Talk to God together about the example of Christ’s love that He intends your marriage to be. Ask Him to lead the two of you to be leaders that point to God’s unchanging love.
