31 Day Marriage ResetSampl

It is not your job to fix your marriage. It is your job to love your spouse even when your marriage seems broken.

It would be so easy, when things get hard, to just put your phone on silent, get in the car, and drive off. The reason we would never encourage that is because that gives Satan room to put your spouse in a state of torment. However, sometimes it is very important, when things get hard, to seclude yourself. To ask your spouse if you can just have a ten-minute break to get alone with Jesus. Jesus shows us how important that is many times in the Bible. He got away to pray. He got away to have time with God alone and give God room to speak. When there are broken moments, days, and even seasons in your marriage, put your attention on God and not on fixing your marriage. The key to a broken marriage is not your marriage being fixed, but your thoughts being fixed. Cling to God’s promises in the midst of confusion and what may seem like chaos and give God room to shape you and mold you through it. Maybe the real project God is working on not your marriage, but you.
