Why Did I Get Married?

I’m sure this is a question many women find themselves in turmoil with during the darkest hours of what they feel should be the happiest time of their life. But sisters of this question what you have to understand is that no one, not even God, said it would be easy. What God did say is for you to lean into Him and let go of your own understanding and let Him guide you through the uncertainty. Faith means relinquishing and believing in something greater than yourself. It means that even when you know you won’t always have the answers that God will guide you to a place of revelation. Too often I see women relinquish their pain to others rather than giving it to God. How can you put stock in guidance from man when they are trying to guide you through their own agenda of past hurt and pain? God said that you need to be still and know that He is God. In other words stop trying to fix it yourself.

Stop trying to run away from the issue and stop giving what should be placed in the hands of God to the fleshly mindset of man. A wife is bound to her husband just as a husband should love his wife as his own body. You have to remember this, “the two shall become one flesh, so they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no man separate.” No man means another woman, no friend, no father, no mother and not even you. You gave your marriage to God when you made your intentions before Him. So why not trust in His ability to guide and heal your marriage? Let go of that spirit of anger, pain, vengefulness, contempt and deceit. For “he who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord” just as, “an excellent wife is the crown of her husband, but she who brings shame is like rottenness in his bones.

”Remember the words of the Corinthians. “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”

LET YOUR MARRIAGE endure the storm so that it may be strengthen and made holy with the guidance of God. There is nothing that cannot be restored when you first make the decision to trust in God. Pray for husband. Pray for yourself. Pray for your marriage..
