Genesis 2:24 (NKJV) 24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
This is how God ordained marriage to be between a man and a woman; To leave his father and mother and become one with his wife, knowing that God will be their Helper, their Stability and their ROCK.
Marriage is a time of learning and growing together. It’s a time where God takes two people who may be totally opposite from each other, and He teaches them how to come together and make it work, as they learn to love each other more and more through it all.
Instead of getting upset about our spouse not acting, thinking or doing things the way we are used to doing them, we can learn what makes them tick and that our ways of doing things are not the only way.
God will help us embrace and love the differences in our spouse, if we let Him. Learning that those differences can bring balance to us is good, and will help us grow and mature as husband and wife.
Couples should never feel afraid to express themselves to each other. They should not fear rejection. They should not fear criticism or being laughed at in a negative way by their spouse.
A lot of things that couples are separating over can be fixed. They can be worked out and trust and love CAN be built back up. We have to want to work at it and take the necessary steps through God’s omniscient (all-knowing) guidance.
We may have to push back some old ways of thinking. We may have to humble ourselves and let go of things that really eat away at us at times. We may even have to say things that we never thought we would hear ourselves saying, like; it’s OK, I’m sorry, I forgive you or, will you forgive me.
God will help us restore our marriage and we will be able to truly walk in oneness if He is made to be the center of our marriage.
There is NO perfect couple, relationship or marriage. But, with God’s help there is such a thing as a restored, healed and God-renewed marriage!
If your marriage is suffering today, this is a new season for you and your spouse. It’s time to let God step in and renovate your hearts and thinking toward each other.
