“Together With Purpose”Marriage is more than love and companionship—it is a transformational journey where two people are shaped by their shared experiences, challenges, and victories, becoming better versions of themselves together.
While much is said about handling conflict, nurturing romance, and strengthening intimacy, one of the most powerful yet overlooked aspects of marriage is purpose. A marriage with purpose goes beyond day-to-day life—it is about a higher commitment to walk side by side, building a life that is intentional, meaningful, and enduring.
Marriage isn’t just another relationship—it is a sacred bond of trust, intimacy, and shared vision that surpasses all others. It’s not about simply coexisting, but about choosing to prioritize and support one another above all else. It’s about dreaming together, serving together, and creating a life that leaves a legacy for generations to come.
When we see marriage in the context of our calling, or better yet, within the combined calling, then marriage flourishes as a true partnership in which spouses are devoted to creating a shared life together that is deeper than the emotional payoff of the marriage. This view of marriage gives us more than feelings of happiness; it helps make our lives rich and meaningful."
There are three key areas a couple can focus on when intentionally aligning their purposes and vision in marriage: Grow, Create, Serve.
Grow Together
Growing together is the foundation upon which everything else is built. A loving marriage starts with a commitment to personal and relational growth. Husbands and wives need to feel a deep sense of belonging and security at home - knowing they are fully seen, valued, and supported. When both partners invest in emotional, spiritual and intellectual growth, they cultivate a relationship that is resilient and deeply fulfilling.

Serve Together
Serving together is how a couple extends their love beyond themselves. True partnership is not just about supporting each other but also about making an impact in the world around them. Whether it’s volunteering, mentoring, or simply showing kindness to others, serving together elevates a marriage into something greater - something that leaves a legacy, inspires others, and goes farther than their own committed bond together as man and wife.
When couples grow, create, and serve together, they don’t just build a marriage - they build a life filled with purpose, connection, and lasting joy.
The beauty of this vision is how it transforms the ordinary moments of married life. The morning coffee conversations become opportunities to align on shared priorities. The evening walks become times to dream together about future impact. The weekend projects become expressions of shared values. Even the mundane negotiations of household management become exercises in partnership toward common goals.
When marriage is grounded in purpose, love isn’t just a feeling we chase, it becomes a choice we make daily to honor the person we married. The daily acts of service, the small sacrifices, the choosing to stay engaged when we’d rather withdraw - these become investments in both personal development and growth as well as shared goals and vision.
It’s a journey of becoming, together and for each other, building a love that grows stronger, deeper, and more purposeful with every step.
