LOVE ZONE n our society, we are conditioned to make regular or yearly appointments for what we call check-ups or wellness checks. In some cases, you even get good incentives for doing so.
Well, today, I want to remind you that your marriage requires check-ups. I’m not talking about the long conversations you have after you’ve been wronged or the heated arguments you get into after an infraction or marriage violation. See, some of these very things have occurred because you forgot, neglected, or even decided that your marriage had no need for a yearly, monthly, weekly, or daily checkup. I find it oddly strange that some people will neglect this important process, when even Satan himself does daily and routine checkups on you. He is described as a thief, and his objective, to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), never waivers nor changes. So, once you understand this, it is your responsibility to make sure that your marriage is intact. Okay, Pastor Scroggins, I see where you’re going with this. However, I don’t know who we would go to as a couple to institute these wellness checkups or even how they are performed? That’s why I’m here. The Bible is so resoundingly efficient when it comes to marriage and there is not a physician on earth more educated than the greatest physician of all…The Father. My first advice to you would be, study the Word of God for clear directives for marriage.

Based upon a few of the Scriptures, the Father would say to you both as the physician performing a routine checkup:
