20 scriptures to help your marriage grow

Marriage is a gift from God and an amazing blessing. However, life’s greatest gifts are often not appreciated as they should be. Maybe it’s because life is busy, or we become rushed and distracted. Maybe life becomes difficult because we start to take each other lightly, or let resentments last longer than they should due to disagreements.
