A Fruitful Marriage– Joy

on March 11, 2013

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,  gentleness and self-control… Galatians 5:22-23

A marriage where both spouses are fully committed to the Lord will be beautiful showcases of the fruits of the Spirit! Last month at A Biblical Marriage, I began a series applying the fruits of the Spirit to our marriages, starting with LOVE. Join me this month as we explore JOY. (Click the picture below.) While not quite as exciting as happiness, joy is the one I’d choose if I could take only one.

Come on over and join us! Then answer the question: When have your circumstances made for unhappiness, but you’ve still had joy?

  1. Great idea — applying the fruit of the spirit to marriage!!

  2. Linda Stoll says:

    … and no one, no rocky patches in marriage, nothing can steal that fruit that resides deep in our souls! God’s not changing, He’s not leaving!

  3. As we are the Bride of Christ, so are all couples in the LORD filled with the fruit of the spirit… lovely!
