Are you seeing your marriage beyond the religion? When disagreements come into your marriage, are you walking the walk and talking the talk of love?
To most religion means strict rules, black and white, right and wrong. Jesus didn’t come for the religious person, those people are self deceived. He came to bring love and faith to people that turned away from religion because of the hypocrisy that was seen. He came to show a compassion and a mercy that married couples should show each other.
In this time of spending so many hours together, are you able to share ideas without being in competition? If there is competition within your own team then really you have no team. Marriage is God and us showing the world our love. We are one body, one flesh,one team. In this why don't you reflect on what have been your past underlying issues and speak about about it.
Was it a generational curse? Was it a misunderstanding? Was a point of view that wasn’t given validation? Remember your vows and why they were special that day.
Marriage is a covenant in which you and your wife fall under the authority of God to be in your marriage.
Remind each other every day that God planned your marriage and you will see many issues fall by the wayside. Learn from the story of Joseph, right now you may be in the pit but the palace is coming, your names are in rooms that you have never been in. Allow room for transparency and vulnerability in your marriage, God will honor that. We are not called to be perfect, that was Jesus's job, we are sinners saved by his grace. Wake up each day with continued faith that he will guide you through the valley. He is always working and will continue to work in your life if you allow him.
