Say, "I do"

Nothing will make you lose your religion like a relationship that has lost its savor. You stood before God and swore that you would remain with your sweetheart forever. But the person you are with now is like a totally different being from the one who stood with you at the alter.  They don't talk.  They don't listen.  They don't want to work.  They are always working.  They don't want to spend time with you or they never let you out of their sight.  They don't even look like they used to look.  Truth be told...you hate you ever married them and you often wonder why God ever let you marry this person?  Didn't he know what kind of relationship this would turn out to be? 

Yes, he did. God knew precisely how things would turn out  with the two of you. I'm willing to bet that if you think back you'll  remember that God tried to show you exactly what kind of person you were getting.  He likely showed you in more ways than one. God doesn't let us walk into a serious choice like marriage blindly.  After all is said and done, though, he does allow us to make the final call.  The problem is that most of us don't listen for God's voice until after the vows have already been spoken.  Speaking of the vows, what vow did you take on that day?  Was there a promise in there somewhere to stick it out no matter what? If so, pray for God to help you do as much as is in you possibly can do to keep those vows.  Your vows are important.  Your marriage is important.  After you've done your part, ask God to take it from there. And when you hear in your spirit God asking you, "Do you trust me to make the right decisions for you and to work in your behalf?"....."Do you believe that I will do what is best for you?"..... "Do you want what I want, more than what you want."...with your spirit and heart say...."I do."

Scripture:
Matthew 19:4-6 and Mark 10:5-9
And he answered and said unto them, Have you not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And he said, for this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and the two shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more two, but one flesh.  What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Prayer:
Lord, help us and our spouse operate in Godly wisdom where it concerns our marriage.  Order everything concerning us according to your will and perfect design. Amen.
