Creating a Shared Vision
Loving Your Spouse When You Feel Like Walking Away
Day 17 of 21 · Monday 27 April 2026
Scripture reading
“Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. perish: or, is made naked”
Proverbs 29:18, KJV
Teaching lesson
Every strong marriage is moving toward something.
A couple once realised they had spent years managing life but never discussing their future.
They were:
Paying bills
Raising children
Handling responsibilities
But they had no shared direction.
Without vision, marriage can become routine instead of purposeful.
Couples, you are encouraged to define where you are going, not just deal with where you are now.
Vision brings:
Unity
Motivation
Alignment
Imagine the difference between:“We’re just getting through life,”and“We’re building something together.”
A shared vision creates meaning beyond daily responsibilities.
Together
Your challenge
Discuss one goal you want to achieve together in the next year.
On your own
To reflect on
- Do we have a shared vision as a couple?
- What future do I desire for our marriage?
Prayer focus
“Pray for clarity and unity in your shared future.”
