Research shows that doing things together help couples strengthen their bond and create a foundation for intimacy, trust, and friendship. It is also the perfect space for growing and learning together.
Likewise, in the Christian community, romantic relationships experience intimacy and strengthened bonds when couples do things as a unit. As we all know, Christianity is synonymous with service. Therefore, to be an ardent follower of Christ suggests willingness to serve God and humanity wholeheartedly.
And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
Hebrews 10:24-25 NKJV
from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.
Ephesians 4:16 NKJV
Therefore, for Christian couples looking to unite in love and trust while create a lasting impact in your church and community, serving together reaps the best fruits. With serving as a unit, Christian couples can learn, grow, love and serve God and their community through their relationship.
Looking for effective strategies that not only deepens your relationship with your partner but also spreads love and compassion in the spirit of faith?
Here are impactful ways godly couples can serve God and their communities together:

With mentorship and counseling, couples can supports others in their journey. It also deepens the couple’s understanding of their own relationship dynamics.
