What If the Passion Is Missing in My Marriage? (Song of Solomon) | Daily Devotional & Bible Study

Today we talk about what happens when passion fades and insecurities start to creep into a marriage. Using principles from Song of Solomon, we look at how respect and admiration are the soil where desire grows. Lasting passion is emotional and spiritual too, and it starts to return when we see our spouse through God's eyes. "You are altogether beautiful, my darling, And there is no blemish in you." (Song of Solomon 4:7) Questions this episode answers What should I do when passion fades in my marriage? Start by looking at what is under the surface, like insecurity, hurt, or distance. Pray about it, and make a point to show your spouse respect and admiration, since desire grows from that foundation. Is it normal for passion to change in marriage? Yes. Every marriage goes through seasons, and insecurities can make normal changes feel bigger than they are. God can renew love as a couple grows closer to Him and to each other. How does respect affect intimacy in marriage? Respect and admiration build trust and safety. When a spouse feels honored, emotional and physical closeness tend to follow.
