How can I make Jesus the foundation of my marriage and family

Hi everyone, I am brand new to Reddit so please forgive the long post. I’m 28 and my husband is 31. We’ve been together for 10 years and married almost 3. We both grew up in Christian homes—me Catholic, him non-denominational—but faith was more of a background thing for us growing up. We went to church here and there, I was baptized and did the sacraments, but it wasn’t really the center of daily life.

Now that we’re older (and raising a one-year-old and a five-year-old), we really want to be intentional about making Jesus the foundation of our marriage and our family. We don’t want to just go through the motions—we want faith to actually be lived out day-to-day in a way that feels real and meaningful.

I know the obvious places to start are things like reading the Bible and going to church, but I want to do more than I did as a kid. I want to feel like I’m putting my full trust and faith in Him, and also make faith something that feels natural and comfortable for our kids as they grow up.

I also struggle with OCD and control issues which has caused some bumps in my marriage but my husband is amazing and wants to help me through that. I think learning to let go and root myself in Christ is something that will help and I deeply want that, but I don’t always know how to take those steps. I often hear people say things like “I accepted Jesus as my Savior,” and I wonder—how do you actually live that out in daily life? What can I physically do to believe more?

Some specific questions I have:

• What practical ways can we start weaving Jesus into our daily lives as a couple and as parents? • How do I begin teaching my kids about Jesus when I still feel like I don’t know Him myself? • I’ve already been baptized as a baby—does it make sense to be baptized again now as an adult, as a personal choice? 

Any advice, encouragement, or resources would mean so much. I really want to be intentional in building a strong foundation of faith for myself, my marriage, and my family.

Thank you all 🙂
