Bible Verse of The Day – 1-16-19

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.

Being one is something all couples need to work at. We need to be in unity. We need to be on the same page.

If two people who are together are thinking or operating on a separate page, they are off. In other words, they don’t see eye to eye on things.

When we don’t agree on something, we shouldn’t just give up. We don’t just throw in the towel. We don’t start putting the other person down, or discrediting them around others. We don’t disrespect them just because we don’t agree on something.

What do we do then? We work that much harder to get on the same page.

Have we ever noticed when we are not together on something what kind of fruit it produces? There is anger, hurt feelings and disappointment.

When we separate from each other like this, it affects our whole relationship.

Being together in unity, being joined as one in everything is vital in a relationship.

This does not mean we will not have differences of opinion. It simply means that when we do, we need to work that much harder at coming together regarding whatever the difference may be. We need to work it out and learn from each other. We need to help each other.

Don’t run from it. Put the time and effort aside and work together in making it what it needs to be.

Ask God for help in your marriage/relationship. Ask Him to help you stay in unity with each other, with Him as the Head of your relationship.

Be sure to put the time aside and make every effort to work things out. Take it very seriously.

Your relationship is worth everything. Be sure to treat it that way.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-26-18

Ephesians 5:33 (NKJV) 33 Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

Husbands, love your wife. And wife, respect your husband.

Love and respect in any marriage is what keeps that marriage growing strong. Pray for each other, hold each other dear to your hearts, and sacrifice for each other when needed.

As couples, we need to protect our marriage. We need to watch out for our spouse. If our spouse is struggling, we need to make sure we are there for them. Everything else can wait.

Overtime or extra work can wait. The kid’s activities can wait. The meetings can wait. Our social hour with friends can wait. Our sports can wait. Our shopping can wait. Everything else gets put on hold when it comes to our marriage.

When our spouse is struggling, we shouldn’t spend our time nagging at them for the things they are doing wrong. We don’t need to be reminding them of the things they might have done in the past. Leave the past in the past.

They need us to lift them up, encourage them and help them through their tough days. Stand with them and be there for them.

Sometimes we have to humble ourselves and be reminded of our own weaknesses and the struggles that we have, so we can be compassionate towards them during this time.

Love should get stronger when tough times come. Love doesn’t give up. Love sees what may appear to be an ugly situation and helps it to become beautiful, stronger and successful.

Renew our love today for each other by stopping everything. Sit down. Remind each other about our vows and what God says in His word.

Tell each other that we are there for them and will enjoy the good times and walk through the tough times together. And whatever it takes, we will come through and out the other side, for God is with us.

Romans 8:31 (NKJV) 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-26-16

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.
