I’ve come to the conclusion that marriage or the Covenant of marriage is under attack. It seems that more than ever before husbands and or wives are giving up instead of fighting for the marriage. This is a serious issue in our current culture.
Why is it that people are giving up in this modern day culture? Why are people failing to see the value of fighting for marriage?
Deception! We are fighting a fight with God’s enemy. Satan is hell bent on destroying the Covenant relationship. The Covenant of marriage is a beautiful thing and in its proper place and order in proper alignment with the Covenant we have with God the Father through Jesus Christ’s incredible gift on calvary, we can find the beauty of what God intended for us.
Love is being willing to lay down one’s life for someone else. In a marriage we are going to find that our mate isn’t always doing things we like and certainly aren’t always easy to love. It’s not the actions we need to love. If we base our decisions to love based on what they do instead of loving them because we decide it’s the right thing to do we will always be on a roller coaster ride that feels like it will never end.
The apostle Paul tells us in the first letter the the church of Corinth in chapter 13 verses 4 to 8 love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; its not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it’s not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing., but it rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things; believes all things hopes all things; endures all things. Love never ends.
Imagine this being you he’s describing. Speak this with your name in each line. Now do the same for your spouse. Do you see how powerful this is? This is what we are called to do. We are called to do this for our spouse and others.
If you find yourself contemplating your future with your spouse, stop and consider what did Jesus do for you and me? He gave everything on the cross on Golgotha. He said in his dying breath Father forgive them for they know not what they do. We are called to lay down our rock like he convinced the men looking to stone the woman found in sexual sin. He wants us to lay down our Grievances toward one another and leave our incredible baggage at the cross for him to carry. Then pickup our cross realizing that it’s gonna hurt and follow him.
Oh, that’s not a popular statement is it? Everyone wants to believe when you come to Jesus it’s going to be rainbows and unicorns, but that’s never promised to us. We are promised that we will see trouble and we will have sorrow but that joy comes in the morning. We are promised that if we follow him we can have peace that passes all understanding.
So what are you waiting for? Focus on staying healthy in your relationship but if you’ve messed up and everyone does. Forgive and help your spouse find their way back to repentance and restoration with Christ Jesus. This is the message of the Gospel. I’m so glad to know and be able to walk in this and I hope this helps someone stay and stand for their marriage just like me. It’s worth it to fight. God’s already won. I know…
I read the end of the story. You can too.

I ran into this video clip of Sylvester Stallone about there’s three types of people in your life that hit home and is so true. ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 💘 If you are like me, as time pass, you find out more about the bad side of people. Did you ever hear the saying, I rather buy a house with no neighbors. I don’t like people. I love animals. Indeed, this is a famous adage for people who love animals and those who like being alone or prefer a quiet life and not dealing with two-faced people. People can lie, cheat, steal, and be sneaky. Often, many people put their guard down by trusting a so-called friend to be let down and hurt. Hence, they do not want anyone to be fooled and get either scammed, betrayed emotionally, or emotionally hurt. Many people get betrayed, lied to, taken advantage of, used, or scammed by a so-called friend, family member, sibling, parent, co-worker, spouse, business partner, or employer. People can be sneaky and conniving. Married couples can turn on each other, lie, cheat, betray, and hurt. Those hurt multiple times do not want to interrupt their living conditions. It means you should have few friends or be in large crowds because they cause more harm than good. Animals do not know how to cheat, betray, lie, connive, scam, steal, or intentionally hurt. They give you unconditional love without expecting anything in return. Many people do not want to get hurt again and say this because they love animals more than anything else since these creatures are loyal and will never betray your trust or hurt your feelings. At the same time, humans can do so easily and bring problems that may affect one’s peace of mind. Here are some other versions of it:
- “I would rather have pets than friends.”
- “I’d rather live in the wilderness with my animals than in any city with people around.”
- “My animals are better company than most people I know.”
These sayings express what many individuals feel about preferring loyalty, companionship, and simplicity offered by creatures. People may choose to stay on their own without close neighbors within their vicinity, thus enjoying quietude plus the freedom of having pets undisturbed.
