The Differences of a Good Marriage

Thursday, August 5, 2021

There are marriages that break up over somebody leaving the toilet seat up or someone leaving the cap off the toothpaste. The smallest difference, if not dealt with, forgiven or resolved, can destroy a relationship. If the smallest issue is kept inside to fester, it's going to build a wall. On the other hand, the biggest of differences can build a marriage, especially if it causes both sides to come together to work it out. Successful marriages aren't those without any problems or differences; they are those marriages where differences are worked out. Your relationship with God is a marriage, and like marriage, the smallest difference can destroy your peace and your relationship. If you're upset or disagree with God, or are hurt, let Him know, don't hold it in. Deal with it together. Tell Him what you think. Then praise Him for being right and do what He says. Bring it to Him, whatever it is, lift it up to Him, and break down any walls. Then you'll have a good, healthy, and successful relationship and marriage with God.
