Have you noticed that we live in a world that screams for divorce? One out of two couples get a divorce at some time. I am sure you have thought of it before- it would just be so easy, I would be happier, I could finally have freedom, my problems would disappear...
Those are the lies that the Enemy tells us, he preys on us until our hearts harden to our spouse and we give in to that "easy" way. Can you also apply that to your relationship with Christ? Sometimes it's just easier not to obey, or you just want to be able to watch that show, or listen to that band. There is no middle ground, scripture does not say there's an in-between. You are either participating in God's Kingdom or the kingdom of darkness.
How are you living out your marriage? How about your relationship with Christ? He wants us with Him and He wants us with our spouse. Both require work, it doesn't just happen. But the best part is that you CAN do it. All you need to do is set aside your pride and declare you need the help of Christ. He is glorified in your weakness. Allow Him to provide you with self-control, patience, love, and endurance.
Don't be full of pride, searching for the easy way out, be willing to humble yourself and ask God for help.
