He Is Risen! 7 Easter Lessons to Strengthen Your Marriage
Easter is the ultimate reminder of love in its purest form. The kind that gives selflessly, forgives endlessly, and conquers even death.
As we reflect on the resurrection of Jesus Christ, we’re reminded that love isn’t just a feeling. It’s a daily decision. A commitment to rise again, to keep showing up, especially for the one you love.
Let’s be real, marriage isn’t all butterflies and candlelit dinners. Some days, it takes resurrection-level grace to get through.
Whether you're planning your wedding or finding your way through the early years of marriage, these 7 powerful Easter-inspired lessons can help you build a strong, faith-rooted relationship that lasts.
1. Love Sacrifices
Jesus gave everything for us not out of obligation, but out of deep, divine love. A thriving marriage reflects this spirit: putting each other first, making small sacrifices daily, and showing up even when it’s hard.
In marriage, it’s choosing your spouse over yourself, making their coffee when you’re exhausted, listening when you’d rather zone out. It’s the small stuff that says, “You’re worth it.
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” – John 15:13
2. Love Forgives
On the cross, Jesus forgave everyone, even those who hurt Him. Marriage needs that kind of grace. You’ll mess up. Your spouse will too. Forgive fast, not because it’s easy, but because love doesn’t keep score.
Its this kind of grace that breaks the cycle of bitterness and keeps love flowing, even when we fall short.
3. Love Is Renewed Daily
No matter what you’ve faced, misunderstandings, hard seasons, or emotional exhaustion, there’s always a chance to begin again in love. The resurrection is God’s way of saying, “Start over.”
Rough day? Bad fight? You don’t have to stay stuck. Invite God to reset your hearts, renew your connection, and help you show up for each other again “every single day.”
4. Love Is Rooted in Faith
Marriage is not just a partnership, it’s a covenant. A marriage grounded in Christ can weather storms, heal wounds, and grow stronger with time. Faith is the anchor that holds you together when life gets rough.
Pray together, read the Word together, and trust God to hold you tight. When money’s tight or kids are wild, praying as a team reminds you God’s got you.
“A cord of three strands is not easily broken.” – Ecclesiastes 4:12
5. Love Endures Trials
Easter reminds us that suffering has a purpose. In marriage, hard times can refine us, not break us. When you walk through challenges together, hand-in-hand with God, you come out stronger on the other side.
Keep in mind: Every tough season you face as a couple is building something deeper if you don’t give up.
6. Love Serves
Jesus washed His disciples’ feet. He led through humility. In marriage, true love is not about being served, but serving one another with kindness, compassion, and humility every day.
In marriage, love is doing the dishes when it’s not your turn or cheering your spouse on when they’re down. It’s saying, “I’m here for you,” without saying a word.
Try picking one thing your spouse hates doing and take it off their plate this week.
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition... but in humility consider others better than yourselves.” – Philippians 2:3
7. Love Is Hopeful
The empty tomb means that hope always has the final word. Let your love story be filled with hope: in your plans, your prayers, and your future. Trust that God is working even in the waiting.
Write down one prayer for your marriage and revisit it together in a month. Trust God’s timing
