Marriage has its hard times. Even in a marriage where both the husband and wife are Christians, marriage can be hard. One of the things that speaks to my soul when I am walking through a hard day, week, month, or season of my marriage is music. My love for words combined with the sounds of instruments meet my soul in the dark and speak to my emotions, lifting me up and encouraging me. I’ve created a playlist for just this when marriage is hard. I pray it lifts your soul and inspires you as well.
The Top 5 On My Playlist
The most recent addition to my playlist and written by a wife walking through a spiritual mismatch and separation, this song reminds me God works in the ashes.
This song, not about marriage necessarily, reminds me of my identity and who really holds me. It is a cry out to God for him to be my footprints in the sand in a hard season.
Broken Together by Casting Crowns
A long time favorite of mine, this song reminds me I am not alone. My husband is in this marriage too and we should strive to walk through difficult seasons together.
A husband cries out to the Lord to lead him as he leads his family. Even as a wife, it is my prayer that the Lord would lead me as I guide my family, my child, to follow him.
This song hold a special place on my playlist as it was one of the songs we had played at our wedding. I believe this song is a beautiful depiction of what marriage vows should be and the love that Jesus shows us.
