[#Life] Marriage

DAY 1 OF 7

  

Enjoy Your Marriage

Marriage was God’s idea. God intended for man and woman to be together since the beginning of creation. He wanted to make something great out of it. Marriage can be awesome and incredible. Sometimes, it can be difficult, but it can be enjoyable and amazing at the same time. The Bible teaches us to enjoy life and our marriage. "To enjoy" means to take pleasure or satisfaction in the possession or experience of something. It also means to live in happiness. When we start enjoying something, we start seeing it differently. We might eat a similar meal every day, and it can feel boring and bland, but when we decide to start seeing it as a blessing of God, we will begin to enjoy it. We can see our spouse every day and not get tired of them if we decide to see them differently every day. 

There is one primary thing we need to make sure we are doing well in our lives, especially in our marriage the number one relationship in our lives should be the one we have with Jesus Christ. From our relationship with Him will spring every other relationship we have. This means in order to enjoy our relationship with our spouse, we need to learn to enjoy having a relationship with the Lord.

Marriage should be fun. It is something we are supposed to really enjoy. Why not try to look at it from that perspective? I want you to have fun thinking about marriage and the things that come with it. 

Men and women think and feel differently by the way we see things or communicate. For instance, when a man says something, he probably means what he just said, right? Yet, most times, when a woman says something, she means something else. If, during an everyday conversation, the husband says: “I like our small, cozy kitchen,” he means that he likes their small kitchen. If the wife says: “I like it too, even though it is small,” she might mean  she wants to move to a new house with a bigger kitchen. That should not be something to get upset about. It should be something  we understand and use to our advantage. 

Understanding differences can make our marriage grow and be more interesting.

Thought of the Day

Try and find something different you like or appreciate about your spouse every morning when you wake up. 

Dan 2
