Why A Healthy Lifestyle Is Important For A Healthy Marriage

Why does a healthy lifestyle matter for a healthy marriage? Aaron and Jennifer Smith share three areas that change when you choose to live healthy, and how each carries into marriage. Discipline: self-control in eating and exercise goes hand in hand with spiritual discipline, like rising early to pray and read the Bible (Proverbs 25:28). Example: Aaron started CrossFit and led by example instead of nagging, and Jennifer followed on her own. Ability: more energy to play with the kids, more strength, and more closeness in sexual intimacy. They share practical tips like cutting added sugar at the grocery store, remind couples that godliness is of value in every way (1 Timothy 4:7-8), and encourage taking one baby step at a time.
