With the upcoming election season, it can be a challenging time for couples as they navigate the complexities of decisions that affect their family, values, and faith. As believers, it's essential to approach this season prayerfully, considering not only what aligns with our personal views but what is consistent with our Christian beliefs and God's will for our lives.

Here are a few steps to guide you both in making the best decision together:

  1. Pray Together – Spend time in prayer as a couple, asking God for discernment, wisdom, and unity. Let the Holy Spirit guide your thoughts and discussions.
  2. Seek God’s Word – Dive into Scripture together. Passages like Micah 6:8 ("to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God") can help center your decisions on what honors God’s heart.
  3. Have Open and Respectful Discussions – Share your thoughts, beliefs, and concerns with each other in a safe and respectful environment. This is a great opportunity to understand each other’s values and grow closer.
  4. Remember Your Shared Purpose – Ultimately, your goal as a couple is to honor God and be a light in the world. When decisions are made with this shared purpose, they often become clearer.
  5. Pray for Peace and Unity – Finally, pray for peace and unity not just for your marriage but for the body of Christ and the nation. Trust God to lead you both in making a decision that reflects His will and strengthens your bond as a couple.

As you walk through this season, may God grant you both clarity, unity and a spirit of peace. Remember, you’re on the same team, seeking His best for your marriage and community.

In His love and grace,
Dr. Deborah
