Is this it?

Let’s face it, many are staring at their marriages and asking - “is this it?”

Some were told that once they married a fellow born-again Christian, then an out-of-this-world, heavenly marriage was in the bag. They soon realised this wasn’t guaranteed.

Some believed that marrying their friend was the secret. Others thought that getting hitched to a ‘good’ person would land them marital bliss. However, the reality is this - many couples are stuck in non-fulfilling unions.

The hurt from a difficult marriage can run deep. So deep that it gradually begins to affect other areas of your life and relationships.

Struggling in marriage affects the quality of your day-to-day life. It impacts on your health, your walk with God, the children and your ability to run freely towards fulfilling your purpose on earth.

It can leave you feeling deflated, depressed, stuck, used, distraught. It can rob you of your self-esteem and make you live life without enthusiasm.

But, is that how God intended it? No! Far from it!

God Himself officiated the very first marriage (between Adam and Eve). He not only officiated, He was also the wedding planner! The very first wedding planner!

In planning their big day, God first put Adam to deep sleep, then took out one of his ribs and neatly closed up the flesh in that area. With the rib from Adam, He formed his beautiful wife, Eve. Then God personally brought Eve to Adam and officially presented her to Adam. I imagine Adam’s reaction was “wow … this is cool!”

He didn’t do all that to fill their lives with pain, frustration or bitterness towards each other. No! Instead, He wanted them to experience His love and to express that love to each other. He wanted them to enrich each other. To accomplish more together for Him and for themselves. He wanted them fulfilled. He wanted them to have loads of fun together.

He also wanted them to deal with challenges together and grow through them. God wanted their children to be grow up in an atmosphere conditioned by His love. His desire was for parents to lay the foundation for their children’s understanding of the Fatherhood of God through their nurturing and lifestyles

And His mission hasn’t changed. God still desires this for every marriage and family - including yours.

So, can a couple experience that in today’s marriage? Oh yes!

You can thrive in your marriage. You can learn to communicate more effectively with your spouse, resolve conflicts in a healthy way, overcome limiting beliefs, build or rebuild trust, set healthy boundaries, maintain godly, peaceful atmosphere around the home and improve your intimacy.
