Pain and suffering. It’s a part of life. Ideally, the one place there shouldn’t be any of this is in your marriage. Yet, for millions of Americans, this isn’t the case.
Couples hurt each other all of the time. The vast majority of the time it’s unintentional. Often times it’s unavoidable.
This world has a way of adding complexity to our lives. Demanding bosses and self-serving customers create stress. Financial challenges add up. Overbearing in-laws cross boundaries.
The list is endless.
The point is that external things can create crushing pressure on a marriage. If the marriage is already struggling because couples don’t know how to communicate with one another, things that once seemed innocent become hurtful all too easily.
Here’s a simple truth no matter where you are in your marriage.
Don’t miss this…
Pain is unavoidable but it can help couples grow closer together.
Every day you have a choice. The ones you make will determine if your pain will last longer and deeper or shorter and more shallow.
See, there is a pain in staying the same and in change. Choose the one that will move the two of you forward together.
Perspective is everything.
In John 16:33, Jesus said “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
James 1:2-4 says, “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”
So, here’s the question…
Does your trial and pain own you, or do you own it?
The difference is the former line of thinking is destructive. Circumstances control you and cloud your judgment. Emotions rule the day. Couples devolve into fighting which leads toward a dangerous path.
The latter is ruled by sober-mindedness and faith. It leads to couples growing in their faith together. They learn how to go deeper in their security in the Lord. In turn, their marriage is anchored in transparency, confidence, trust, and intimacy.
See, pain doesn’t have to drive you apart. It can and should drive you to embrace one another.
This is the ultimate gift of marriage where there is security. You’re a team. The both of you are in “it” together regardless of how bad things get.
YOU CAN DO THIS!
God put you together for a reason.
Embrace Him. Don’t run from one another.
There is hope for your marriage!!!
