Do you believe God wants you to have a flourishing, growing marriage? A marriage beneficial to both you and your spouse? Psalms 84:11 says; "For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor - no good thing does He withhold from those whose walk is blameless." Yes, the Lord does want us to have strong, growing, even flourishing marriages! But we must walk in His truths and be willing to do OUR part. We know the truth, believe the truth and walk in the truth and THEN the feelings will come. It is a matter of being the person God created us to be; dying to self and loving our spouse selflessly as God would want us to. It is NOT about what our spouse does or doesn't do (of course we set boundaries and don't accept sinful behavior), but is about us taking ownership and responsibility for our part and doing what WE can to build a great marriage. Romans 12:18 reminds us that; "If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone." Do YOUR part!
