See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? — Isaiah 43:19
Comment
A new year invites us to pause at the threshold — one foot still in what has been, the other stepping into what will be. It’s easy to rush ahead with plans and resolutions, but often what matters most is simply noticing what’s stirring and asking, What do we want to nurture next?
In marriage, every year brings opportunities to grow, to learn, to begin again. The turning of the year is a chance to reflect on what has strengthened your love and what you’d like to do differently — not from striving, but from hope.
Reflection
What do you sense this new season might be asking of you — individually and together?
Prayer suggestion (as a couple)
Ask God to guide your steps and help you recognise the new things He’s growing in your relationship.
Prayer suggestion (for another couple)
Pray for a couple entering their own new chapter — that they would step forward with courage, grace, and hope.
Final quote
“Every new season begins with the quiet courage to start again.”
