A Beautiful Adventure Marriageనమూనా

Embrace Endurance

As Christians, we have an enemy that is out to kill, steal, and destroy. He will do anything in his power to destroy us and our marriages. We are in a battle not only for our souls, but also for our relationships. There will be seasons of our marriage that are just hard. It is in those seasons we must learn to endure.

To endure means "the fact or power of enduring an unpleasant or difficult process or situation without giving way."

Marriage is a beautiful thing, but it’s under attack. Every day, everywhere you look, you can find ways marriage is being portrayed negatively. Everywhere you look you can see the side effects of this negativity. Every day there are couples throwing in the towel and giving up on each other and on the idea that marriage can work.

If we want our relationship to be different, we must protect it. If we’re going to endure this life and be happily married in the process, we have got to do everything in our power to protect and nourish our most valuable earthly relationship.

Endurance is not passive. It’s something we will have to choose to do every day in an active way. There will be days it will be crazy easy and there will be days it will be unbelievably hard, but every day it will be worth it.

Your adventure is ahead of you, and you can make it a beautiful one! It’s there, it’s possible, and you have an awesome God who knows every mile you will encounter and is more than willing to help you with everything you will come upon.

This adventure is long, and it will take work, but it’s beautiful, and it’s worth everything you will have to put into it! Endure every season—both the good and the hard—find the lessons and the blessings in the everyday situations that arise, and do everything in your power to get through the hard times you may experience, and you will get to your promised destination.

What is our promised destination? Till death do us part!

A happy marriage is possible! You can do this! You can have a beautiful adventure!

Never, ever give up on yourself, your spouse, or your marriage!

Keep moving forward together!

Pray then Act
