"Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, [love] is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails" (1 Cor 13:4-8).

Your marriage will thrive if you care for it, nurturing your relationship and making room for God. We usually think of marriage enrichment taking place in workshops or retreats, which are really valuable. You may benefit from attending a marriage enrichment program in your community or at your church. Retreats with other couples of like mind and faith can inspire and build new friendships that encourage you.
