If your spouse has hurt you, please know that it was not deliberate. You may be having all the evidence related to how he or she planned to mess your life and is not even remorseful. We all know very well that the most serious heartaches and disappointments in life are caused by the most close and dear people to us. People we have shared deeply with and committed our lives and secrets to and many other precious and fond memories we have about them. As a Christian, I draw a lot of valuable lessons from the life of Jesus Christ. Judas Iscariot was the treasurer of Jesus’ ministry and yet he betrayed Him. Peter was the closest of the three close disciples to Jesus and yet he denied Him at the hour of need. Yet in all this Jesus never revenged or took offense. It is true denial and betrayal by a person dear to you is painful beyond description but there is still hope. Jesus met Peter later and their relationship was restored to higher level than it was before.
The reason I am telling you that your spouse did not hurt you intentionally is that if you remember the good times you have shared together, then you can be a witness that something wrong happened to your spouse. He or she can not be the same person that gave you all the affection and yet now is working against you. He or she is not the same. There is need for restoration. Your spouse must be going through some difficult moments that need very close attention for him or her to be restored to the former state. Please do not take offense. Though you are the offended one, seek to help your offender because there is need for restoration. Your spouse could just be a captive of some unspoken challenges and therefore, needs help. Please forgive and help.
Marriage Is Incredible
Marriage is an exceptionally incredible institution. When my daughter was seven years old, she could tell me about her boyfriend - Joseph - who happened to be her classmate. She believes Joseph will be her husband despite the fact that he is not clear in his mind about her seriousness of their friendship. That is how incredible marriage is. Both the under aged and the aged, the rich and the poor, the weak and the strong are all giving marriage a very serious thought. The astonishing high rate of divorce is not, will not and should not be a hindrance to any individual from considering and indeed jumping into it, of course at the appropriate time.
Marriage is such an awesome idea that not many consider the many and great responsibilities associated with it before getting into it. Many married couples can not remember when they sat down to plan on how to tackle the challenges they face in their marriages today but the amazing fact is that they are able to maneuver through them all. This means that in a marriage of serious, positive and committed couple, there exists some divine power which when activated, releases sufficient energy, grace and wisdom to face and manage any sort of a crisis or conflict arising.
This being the case, then there is no cause of fear of getting into marriage. Friends, just be sincere. Whether you are single, married, separated, divorced or even windowed, there exists a desire in every sound human being to be in a long lasting and fulfilling companionship. To some, this longing is on the surface and to others, it is hidden deep. To some, it is a top priority while to others; it is just an issue to consider. Whichever way, marriage is wonderful. Go for it, stay in it – whatever applies to you.
