From the pen of Brother Brett Clayton, “Love will not Sustain your Marriage; but Marriage will Sustain your Love.” Marriage is about commitment. I try to Tell people who I counsel (that just sounded weird) that several several times. I try to Tell them that struggles and hardships are part of God’s plan. They should not abandon the marriage or feel they have failed in some way, or worse, that they have married the wrong person when they encounter problems. Problems are not par for the course; they are the course. James 1:3 “The trying of your faith worketh patience…” (James 1:3). Marriage is about facing obstacles together and growing. That's how you and your spouse become "one flesh". Renew your views daily, do not wait until you have been married 20+ years. Marriage is about choosing each other every day of your lives. Make a promise to your spouse and to God not to get a divorce. My pastor always says, "if my wife leaves me, I'm going with her." LOL! We need to decide that divorce is NOT an option. Lastly, remember your spouse is NOT perfect (shockingly, I know) neither are you. Only Jesus is... Look To Him. Turn and keep your eyes upon Jesus.
