In Pursuit Of A “Perfect” Marriage

What’s your idea of a “perfect” marriage? Before you answer this question, take a snap shot of your life as it stands right now. Look at all the variables that play a role in life as you know it on a day to day basis, such as your spouse, children, money, your relationship with God, outside influences that include friends and family.

All of these can potentially cause problems in a marriage if you and your spouse haven’t created a plan of action that keeps you unified in your Godly roles as husband and wife by setting up barriers that protect your family.

Romans 16:17-18 says “I urge you, brothers. to watch out for those who cause divisions ans put obstacles in our way that we are contrary to teaching you have learned. Keep away from them.” God’s design for marriage should be our standard, but we have to break bad habits that we’ve picked up over the years, and get back to the basics like Ephesians 5:22-33 tells us. When a husband and wife obey their God-given duties, it is only then, you will begin to experience that idea of a “perfect” marriage. Pray for each other and for God to help you “love” the way God loves us.

Ephesians 4:32 says “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as Christ God forgave you.” We are called to glorify God in all that we do (1 Corinthians 10:31); God has given us the tools we need to live in harmony with our spouse, and when you commit to making the necessary changes in how you live, God’s blessings will begin pouring down.

Don’t wait until tomorrow…..Start serving your spouse today!
