WALKING TOGETHER
If we wait for the perfect spouse, we will never find them. Why? Because no one is perfect. And that is okay. God loves us, despite our imperfections. But we need to understand that anyone we marry/married is not perfect too.
“Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?” (Amos 3:3)
Although everyone is not perfect, some people have a lot more healing to do. They are not ready for a relationship. And we need to avoid them as spouses no matter how attractive they may seem.
You might be reading this and think, well, it is too late for me. I am already married, and it is years too late.
When we enter into a long-term relationship, we need to understand the emotional health of our spouse. Eighty percent of all separations and divorces happen because one or both spouses are emotionally drained to the point that it is not healthy.
Godly conduct, a peaceful disposition, and a respectful attitude can move a marriage closer to God. Relationships need each person to respect each other, especially when they do not deserve it.
But a great marriage is not all up to one person. Both people are charged with honoring each other, and there is no conditional clause.
The key to having a lasting marriage is for both spouses to do the best they can at upholding their part of the relationship. God will give us His best as we seek His guidance and follow Him in obedience.
Do you have any unhealthy emotional traits in your relationship? If you do, what is one step you will take today to seek God’s healing?
Heavenly Father, as I seek Your wisdom and Your guidance in all I do and say, I will be able to give in my relationship with my spouse as You know our hearts more than we do. Your guidance is beyond measure as all belong to You. Thank You, Father. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
