Valentine’s Day often focuses on romantic gestures and extravagant gifts, but as Christian couples, we have an opportunity to celebrate love in a deeper way—one that reflects Christ’s love for us. By rooting our relationships in faith, we can create meaningful moments that strengthen our bond with each other and with God.
In this blog, I’ll share scripture-based encouragement, thoughtful Valentine’s Day gift ideas, and a heartfelt prayer to help you celebrate a Christ-centered Valentine’s Day.
Reflecting on Christ’s Love in Your Marriage
Before diving into gift ideas or date plans, take a moment to reflect on the foundation of your relationship. Christ’s sacrificial love serves as the ultimate model for how we love our spouse.
Ephesians 5:25 reminds us, “Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” This verse calls both husbands and wives to love selflessly, putting the other’s needs above their own.

Start Valentine’s Day by expressing gratitude for your spouse’s love and their walk with Christ. Whether it’s a handwritten note or a heartfelt conversation, take time to thank them for how they’ve demonstrated Christ’s love in your marriage.
