LIGHT FOR THE WAY
(Daily Devotinal)
"...No matter what I say...I am bankrupt without love" (1Corinthian 13:3 TM)
MAKING YOUR MARRIAGE WORK
Marriage is the will of God, making it work is the will of man. If you want to build a great marriage, one that will go the distance. You must concentrate on doing the these four things:
1) Take responsibility for your own happiness. By blaming your mate you never have to face yourself honestly or change your behaviour. Relationships aren't dumping grounds. Happiness is an inside job; it comes from having a healthy self esteem and a growing relationship with God.
2) Be a friend. Ever notice how easily we accept our friends as they are, yet have trouble doing that with the one we're married to? Look out, familiarity breeds contempt! Doesn't your partner deserve at least the same repsect, loyalty, patience, gratitude and appreciation you give other?
3)Have a shared goal. You always need something to plan for and work together. Doing this will enrich your relationship and take it to higher levels. So what's next goal?
4) Have courage. The problem in marriage is not that there are problems, it's expecting otherwise; it's thinking that having problem is the problem! There are no perfect situations in life. You need courage to face whatever comes, to realise that what you can't solve, you can outlast and outlove. So start making it work today.
Prayer Point
Father, I receive the will, the wisdom and the heart of love to make my marriage work in Jesus name.
