What couple would commit to a marriage believing divorce was definitely in their future? Instead, couples take this covenant step with confidence their marriage will last a lifetime. The majority of divorces reflect a fractured relationship that could have been saved.
It has been noted that as soon as the honeymoon is over, real differences in personalities and expectations will surface. Yet most couples compromise and accept each other’s imperfections. Their love and commitment to each other give birth to a lasting bond.
What helps couples move from conflict to resolution is realizing that happiness includes sacrifice by each individual.
To love your husband or wife as Christ loved the church is an awesome responsibility and privilege. Christ Jesus provides strength and the will to endure, but that must include an attitude that promises to never give up. So give thanks to Christ, and then continuously act out your thanksgiving.
God
will bless you if you don’t give up when your faith is being tested. He will
reward you with a glorious life, just as he rewards everyone that loves him.
~James
