FAMILY WEEK SERIES
TOPIC: MAKING YOUR MARRIAGE WORK (Part 3)
TEXT: “Discretion will preserve you, understanding will keep you” (Pro2:11)
The marriage relationship is very much like operating a bank account, only that this emotional account that both man and woman have with each other. In this account we make deposits and withdrawal. In actual fact when we marry we inherit a account containing romance, physical fulfillment, generosity (You were ready to give anything for your mate),
true love, marital bliss, great marital expectations. Ideally we can dip every now and then and take whatever we want from this never depleting supply (or so we thought). Instant, low maintenance, satisfaction guaranteed! And it seems to work for a while until one rainy day; we dip into the box and come up empty. At that time we feel shock, anger, disappointment, despair and hopelessness, and then we conclude that our partners have failed us. Why would the account be empty? Why our partner does seem not to be responding like they use to? Kindly check out this liberating truth below:

At that time we feel shock, anger, disappointment, despair and hopelessness, and then we conclude that our partners have failed us. Why would the account be empty? Why our partner does seem not to be responding like they use to? Kindly check out this liberating truth below:
1) You have overdrawn your account! We have taken so much without putting anything back. Your job is to make enough deposits in order to make sufficient withdrawals for a rich relationship. Jesus said “…with the measure you meet it shall be measured back to you again” (Luke6:38). So if you want more love deposit more love. If you want more trust, deposit more trust. Sometimes, what we get as feedbacks from our partner is what we have deposited over time. The account you give is what determines what you get back.
2) A dormant account can be re-activated. Our account become dormant when we no longer take as important the things we once hold so dear in a marriage relationship; we no longer bring flowers home to her, we no longer say those sweet things that makes our partner fill on top of the world, we no longer no how to say those three very power words of ‘I am sorry’. In short we have begun to take things for granted and marriage becomes grounded. How do you know a dormant marriage? You see that the couples are just coasting along but the very life of the marriage is gone! The good news is that a dormant marriage can be re-activated, let God show you what to do. Jesus knows how to turn water into wine but you must put something in the water pots first (John 2:7-10). God doesn’t work with nothing. So ask what do I deposit in my account with my spouse so I can begin reaping a lifetime of marital bliss and prosperity? Accepting this truth frees you to make your marriage rich and rewarding by becoming a giver, not just a taker! Have a blissful day
