It is very disappointing to see how many people give up on marriage. Til death do us part seems like an old wives tale in today's society. In order to make a marriage last I think you need to have a God sized dose of patience.
The thing many couples leave out of their marriage is God. Without God we have no hope, no need to persevere. Lets show others what it looks like when God is in control of our marriages. Rob and I have only been married for 14 years. In the large scheme of things that is not long at all but we have made the commitment to staying in this til death do us part.
Society today treats marriage like a business transaction. It is crazy to think that anyone, regardless of how much money they make have, needs to have a pre nup agreement. We as Christians need to remember we are in the world but not of it.
We need to let God take His rightful place in our marriages and let us show the world what it looks like to stay married for a lifetime. First of all we need to ask God to help us as we choose a mate. If God is not involved from the beginning then we set ourselves up for possible failure.
We must be willing to do whatever it takes to stay married once you are married. Please understand that I am judging you if you are divorced, just know what God has to say about marriage and divorce. Don't give up and let God take control of your relationship.
God designed marriage and wants to see us succeed. Pray and trust God will help you in the tough times. Take heart and be patient. God wants the best for you trust Him.
