Good Morning!
Proverbs 17:9 (New Living Translation)
9 Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends.
Proverbs 17:14 (New Living Translation) 14 Starting a quarrel is like opening a floodgate, so stop before a dispute breaks out.
Today’s blog is focused on strengthening Marriage. I encourage everyone to not let the sun go down without reading this blog and decide Divorce is not an option!
So today’s challenge is for you to take the word “divorce” out of your vocabulary. If it is something you and your spouse has dealt with, then go to God as a couple and ask for His forgiveness and grace to move forward.
Radical Challenge –
If you have had a problem with this, write the word divorce down on a piece of paper and go in your backyard with a match and “divorce paper” in hand to burn. As a couple thank God for His Grace, Mercy, Love, & Wisdom to move on then burn the paper. This would be an outward symbol of your hearts change to put divorce in the fire not your marriage. Let God make your marriage work. Trust me…… It can get better every day!!!!!
A research study showed that 86% of people who were unhappily married in the late 1980’s yet opted to stay in the marriage, indicated when interviewed five years later that they were happier. Three-fifths of the formerly unhappily married couples rated their marriages as either “very happy” or “quite happy” (Five Conversations You Must Have with Your Daughter, Vicki Courtney)
I know personally of a few couples that this is true for.
Building My Family Strong!
