God Can Turn Your Marriage Around!

Some of us may see our marriage as stale, dry, stuck, or dysfunctional, and maybe it is, but do we know why it’s that way or gotten to that point? Is it because we tried to change our spouse, and at the same time, they tried to change us only to realize that neither one of us wanted to change? Maybe the manipulation of doing all that, for whatever reason, is the what led to the discontent?

Discontent? Well that doesn’t seem right, we wanted the opposite of that, CONTENT! Right now there is a little frustration, confusion, maybe some disillusion and it’s left you pondering divorce or just living in misery for the rest of your lives. BUT, THERE IS HOPE!!! It’s going to be a challenge, but you can have love if you are willing to love and be loved!

The challenge we have is that it may be our instinct or just pure laziness to give up and move on to someone else, but what we give up is what God made as His best for us. We have to desire to make it work no matter how we feel or what we can see.

We have to want to be in a good marriage to have a good marriage. We can’t allow our nit-picking to overwhelm and consume us. First things first, look up and see our Savior and make a choice to allow Him to take the lead!

Seek forgiveness and reconciliation, just like Christ did with you, be willing to grow and be willing to work it out. It is the essential aspect to growth in transforming your marriage, we must pursue our spouse with real love-not pettiness and retribution. No matter what we have been through, we can turn this around.

The question is, do you love and value Christ as Lord? If so, you are on the right track and more than halfway there. Now you need to take His love and let it ignite you so it can come out of you. You need to have a desire to grow in your faith and knowledge to lead your heart effectively.

Think about it, if we don’t get a grasp on grace and how God loves us, we will ONLY see problems and focus on them without forgiveness. For once start taking your nuptials seriously, be willing to work on it and for it, and show your spouse that you’re committed to the marriage through God.

What do you have to lose by giving God the keys to your marriage? I promise you that God is waiting for you to do this, and you will be amazed at the blessings in store for you, and the testimony your marriage will carry to others in similar situations. Don’t underestimate God’s love for you and His promise to all of us!

John 15:12-17

¹² This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. ¹³ There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. ¹⁴ You are my friends if you do what I command. ¹⁵ I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me. ¹⁶ You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. ¹⁷ This is my command: Love each other.
