Marriage feels flat, not broken
No crisis. Just... quiet and distant. What habits actually helped you warm things up again?

Tell God and two safe friends you're lonely. Serve somewhere connection happens naturally. Host something simple. Marriage isn't the only cure; Christ's presence is real even when church programming forgets singles.
Meet weekly. Read a Gospel together. Let them pray out loud (awkward is fine). Get them into church. Model repentance. Belonging matters as much as information.
God does prosper people. The cross and the apostles' scars also exist. Hold provision with contentment and the reality of suffering (Phil 4). Guaranteed luxury isn't the gospel.
Romans 8 runs roughly: no condemnation → life in the Spirit → adoption → future glory → love that won't let go. Read it in chunks. Underline "Spirit" and "love." Don't rush.
