‘A man might have a hundred children and live to be very old. But if he finds no satisfaction in life and doesn’t even get a decent burial, it would have been better for him to be born dead. ‘ Ecclesiastes 6:3(NLT)
‘So I recommend having fun, because there is nothing better for people in this world than to eat, drink, and enjoy life. That way they will experience some happiness along with all the hard work God gives them under the sun.’ Ecclesiastes 8:15(NLT)
‘This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.’ Psalms 118:24(NLT)
Devotional Content:
Do you and your spouse have fun together? Often in the counseling room, I will ask a couple what they do for fun. More often than not, I get blank stares. What would you say if I asked you that question? The first part of my premise is that every couple had fun together at one time in their relationship. (If they did not, then they probably would never have gotten married!) The second part is that life gets in the way of having fun. Having fun together becomes less of a priority as careers and children (among other things) fight for our time and attention. But I think having fun together should be a priority in marriage! Couples need to have fun together. What did you do for fun when you were dating or in the early part of your marriage? What sounds fun to you to do as a couple today? Setting aside time each week with no agenda other than having fun together can supercharge your marriage.
Today’s One Thing: Decide on a “fun thing” to do together this week. Then do it!
