Marriage Ministry

COUPLES DEVOTIONAL

“Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” – Mark 6:31

Jesus understood something we often forget: rest isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. When the demands of ministry and daily life pressed in on His disciples, He invited them to retreat, recharge, and be renewed. The same principle applies to marriage.

Vacations and getaways give couples the chance to step away from daily responsibilities and focus on one another. Whether it’s a weeklong trip, a weekend away, or even a single day with phones turned off and chores put aside, these intentional breaks create space for deeper conversations, shared experiences, and simple enjoyment of each other’s presence.

But having a “vacation mindset” doesn’t always mean an elaborate or expensive trip. It means being fully present with your spouse without the constant pull of work, chores, or schedules. It’s about remembering why you chose each other in the first place—not just as partners in responsibility, but as companions, friends, and lovers.

Of course, every couple defines rest differently. One may love adventure while the other prefers quiet relaxation. One may enjoy exploring new places, while the other feels most at peace in familiar surroundings. Couples who vacation well don’t demand sameness—they learn to blend preferences, compromise with grace, and pursue the deeper goal of shared connection.

The heart of the vacation mindset is this: make time for rest, renewal, and reconnection. When couples pause to invest in one another intentionally, they strengthen the foundation of their relationship and refresh their capacity to love and serve—together.
