FORTIFYING FAMILIES-BUILDING A SHARED SPIRITUAL LIFE: Andrew Poe | Series: FORTIFIED

Research shows that couples who attend church together are 78% more likely to describe themselves as very happy and 47% less likely to divorce. This reflects the biblical truth found in Ecclesiastes about the strength of a triple-braided cord - two people clinging to each other while being held together by God's presence. Building a shared spiritual life requires fearing and serving God faithfully, throwing away modern idols that compete for our attention, and choosing daily to focus on what matters most. For couples committed to following Christ, this means praying together, worshipping together, having meaningful conversations, holding each other accountable, and encouraging one another daily.
