Making Marriage Work
New Episodes Every Saturday
Been in love (alone) is not enough to keep the marriage going, a fact that catches several couples unawares. Before Patrick & I got married, we had seen each other live our single lives for over three years. We usually focus on the strengths of others when we are in-love and subconsciously ignore the weaknesses.
After the initial year, I also went and bought myself a "fire extinguisher" lol. I learned to keep quiet when emotions are running high and revisit the issue at an appropriate time. It's been working for about a decade.
We all deserve someone who can correct us, speaking the truth in love in all things – both our speech and our lives expressing His truth – so we can grow up in all things into Him, following His example who is the Head – Christ. This truth-in-love, if done from a good intention, glues a marriage and enhances friendship between a couple. We could all benefit from our spouse being our Best Friend Forever
We all deserve someone who can correct us, speaking the truth in love in all things - both our speech and our lives expressing His truth - so we can grow up in all things into Him, following His example who is the Head - Christ. Ephesians 4:15 Amplified (emphasis mine). So in marriage, speaking the truth is very Scriptural but 'the how' and 'the when' are equally important.
