The best thing I can do for my marriage is focus on God and His Word.

I read this analogy one time that was talking about how what was inside is what will come out. They explained it using a coffee mug. They started out by asking this question, “If you were holding a coffee mug full of coffee and someone bumped into you, causing you to spill it — Why did you spill coffee?” The answer was that you spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your mug. Had there been hot chocolate, you would have spilled hot chocolate. Whatever was in the mug, is what you would have spilled. The analogy ended with this question, “So if life comes and shakes you — What will you spill? What’s in your mug?” That is such a good analogy. If you are consistently filling your mug with good and godly things, if you are persistent about getting God’s Word into your system, your marriage will be built on solid ground. Because those are the things that will surface when a storm shakes you.
