Your marriage
What keeps a marriage well is not the big gestures. It is knowing each other, turning towards each other in ordinary moments, staying regulated when it gets hot, and repairing quickly when it goes wrong. Most of the practices here take under five minutes.

Pray for them, by name, for one thing they are quietly carrying.
To ask God for the very thing that weighs on them is one of the most intimate acts of love.
Pray for them by name, for something they actually need.
Today, make duʿāʾ for your spouse, not the general one. Something specific they are carrying right now: the work thing, the health thing, the worry…
Do one small good deed for someone else, together.
Turning outward as a pair, a little charity done side by side, quietly strengthens the two of you.
Wake gently for a prayer together at night, even once this week.
A shared moment turned toward God, in the quiet of the night, binds two hearts to something larger than themselves.
