12 Days To A Love That Lastsنموونە

Addiction
 

We're almost through this reading plan, and we've finally come upon a topic that has stolen so many marriages:
 

Addiction.
 

The thing with addiction is that it's incredibly complex. As much as we'd just love to pray and believe on behalf of our addicted spouses, there are no easy solutions in this arena.
 

Addiction is overcome through a complex process of admission, accountability, discipleship, and daily perseverance, and it almost always requires professional counseling.
 

The good news is that addiction can be overcome, and marriages that have been decimated by it can be rebuilt even more strongly than before. It takes a lot of work, as well as daily shovels full of grace toward one another, but it can be done.
 

You can't find a love that lasts alongside someone who's still wallowing in their addiction – but you can find one with an addict. That's good news.
