Host Shenelle Ball-Green With Prophetess Stephanie Saunders
Marriage is one of the most beautiful unions God created, but let’s be honest—it can also be one of the most challenging. There are seasons when love feels effortless, and there are seasons when it feels like every ounce of energy is being poured out just to keep the relationship afloat. If you’ve ever felt drained, unappreciated, or on the verge of giving up, you’re not alone.
In this episode of It’s Been a Journey, I had the privilege of sitting down with Prophetess Stephanie Saunders to talk about “Not Getting Weary in Well-Doing”—a message straight from Galatians 6:9 (KJV):
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
This conversation is a lifeline for married couples who want to keep their covenant strong, even when the journey feels heavy.
Why This Message Matters for Married Couples
When you’re married, “well-doing” looks like praying for your spouse even when they’ve hurt you. It’s showing up with love when you’d rather walk away. It’s staying committed to God’s design for marriage, even when the emotions don’t match your effort.
Prophetess Saunders reminds us that marriage is not a sprint—it’s a marathon. And like any long race, there will be moments when you want to quit. But if you keep sowing into your marriage with love, patience, and faith, you will reap the harvest God promised.
5 Ways to Replenish Your Well-Doing in Marriage
1️⃣ Strengthen Your Relationship with God – Start and end your day with prayer and scripture. Your marriage can’t thrive if your spirit is running on empty.
2️⃣ Set Healthy Boundaries – Giving endlessly without replenishment leads to burnout. Protect your time, energy, and peace.
3️⃣ Add Joy Back Into Your Relationship – Plan date nights, laugh together, and try something new. Joy is fuel for a healthy marriage.
4️⃣ Surround Yourself with Godly Support – Seek wise counsel from trusted couples who can encourage you through rough seasons.
5️⃣ Practice Gratitude Daily – Instead of focusing on what’s wrong, acknowledge what’s right. Gratitude changes the atmosphere in your marriage.
Final Encouragement
If you are in a season where you feel weary, remember this: your labor in love is not in vain. God sees your faithfulness, and He will honor the seeds you’ve sown in your marriage. You may not see the harvest yet, but your due season is on the way.
