Why do so many marriages fall apart today in our society? It seems like every girl has a vision of their wedding dress, how the ceremony would go, and meeting prince charming. If women dream about being married since they were a little girl then why do so many marriages fail? Why is the divorce rate so high? Why can't people seem to stay married? Here is what happens today in our society. People have a vision of what they expect things to be like, they have a vision of what they want their mate to be like, and they have a vision of seeing only the good/happy times. The ceremony of Marriage is the most sacred thing that two human beings can possibly do together. The truth that comes with marriage is that it is hard work!!! People think that once they get married they can settle in their home and just have everything fall into place while they have their feet kicked up in the process. Marriage needs constant communication. Let me repeat that again: Marriage Needs CONSTANT Communication!!! We cannot hold things in and we cannot be passive aggressive. We need to keep the relationship flowing constantly with no blockage. We need to make a point to spend time together daily!!! The most important thing to learn in marriage is to include God in the center of it. Too many people try to fix it in their own strength and try and change people in their own strength and we will FAIL EVERY TIME!!! The only person that can work on peoples hearts is Jesus!!! Since we are not Jesus then let us stop trying to do this. My husband and I have been married over 3 years and I can tell you that my husband and I just made a new routine to where we are connecting on more levels than when we were married in our first year. We have made a commitment to reading together every night and the book we are reading is : A Marriage After Gods Own Heart by David Clarke. We read this book together and we talk about what we read and talk about things we struggle with and things we are great in. When we are done reading our chapter we hold hands and pray to God. We come in full agreement with one another and ask God to be all over our family and in our marriage. When we have arguments we now have God included in them to where we work on seeing it from "HIS" perspective. No matter if you have been married 1 month or 10 years, marriage is ALWAYS a work in progress!!! Let me ask you this question: What have you done for your marriage lately? Have you been sitting on the sidelines and resting? Are their issues in your marriage that need fixing? Do you have an awesome marriage/an average marriage/or a bad marriage? Today is the day that you can turn your marriage around!!! It is time to get a plan with your spouse and get in agreement and start out small. Get a routine to where it works for you both. Sit down and read together!! Get in the Word Together!! Pray together and Pray for each other!!! Marriage is such a beautiful bond between husband and wife, now let us work for a Godly Marriage!
