Refresh Your Marriage in 31 Days

DAY 28 OF 31

"Jesus, we need you"

A man drives home from work. Before he encounters his little rascals and his wife, he wanders through his backyard and hugs the tree that is located in the centre. He holds onto it for a long time. Then he enters the house happily.


The next day, a friend who happened to witness this, asks him for his reasons. For he had wondered all night if his friend wanted to become a gardener as a child or if he, like Dogmatix*, has developed an affinity for trees.


“For me, the tree is Jesus. I hold on to it until my problems and worries disappear, then I go inside and I’m happy”, he replies. “I know Jesus takes care of us. It is His responsibility to ensure that everyone in our family is happy.”


Even if you invest everything into your spouse, you will never be able to fulfill his/her deepest longings. Only Jesus can do this.


If you as a couple know that Jesus is on your side, you will go through life differently. You will count and reckon on Him at all times. You will discuss everything with Him. You will set your hopes on Him. You will know that Jesus will make sure that nobody and nothing will ever be able to break down the strong bonds of your marriage.

MARRIAGE BOOSTER
Put an extra chair at the dinner table tonight. Invite Jesus into your marriage as your best friend and helper.
