I have heard it said so many times before “as soon as I get married I know all these things will change”
I would like to invite all of us, and not just those of us that have not been married before to consider the following truths that I believe will cause every present and future marriage to be the healthy and wonderful experience I believe God had in mind when he designed it.
1- If you are feeling lonely marriage won’t change that as loneliness is not cured suddenly when you have someone next to you.
2- If you are feeling incomplete marriage will not change that either as wholeness comes from within our hearts and not someone else.
3- If you are feeling lost marriage will not change this either as real clarity is not found through the eyes and thoughts of someone else.
4- If you are wounded marriage won’t change this either as healing is only found in the King that resides in the Kingdom that is within your heart.
5- If you are married and can suddenly see that one or all of these reasons where behind your desire to marry panic not – Grace and love can restore and redeem all things. So now that you can see the truth ask the King to do His thing and in time watch your marriage begin to thrive Gods way.
Entering into marriage with false pretenses means that you will very possibly not only make it worse for yourself, but also for the one you claim to want to love for the remainder of your days…
Remember – the only certain thing a ring around your finger will change will be your civil status.
