Rebuilding Your Marriage (1)
"The winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell." Matthew 7:27 NKJV
Today about 50 percent of all marriages end in divorce. Sadly, that's true whether you're a Christian or not. Sometimes the reasons are circumstantial, such as a job layoff or a home foreclosure. Other times it's relational, such as a betrayal of trust or an addiction to drugs and alcohol. If you're committed to rebuilding your marriage, you must learn how to reconnect and work to restore what you once had. In order to accomplish this, you must both be willing to enter into the process and commit for the long haul. For the next few days, let's look at four key areas. First, you must know the other person. It's a mistake to try and figure out your spouse, put them in a box, and label them for the remainder of their lives. Knowing someone is an art in progress, not static science with unchangeable data. You must view your mate as a mystery who requires ongoing scrutiny and lifelong learning. The Bible says, "Treat your wife [and your husband] with understanding as you live together" (1 Peter 3:7 NLT). In order to restore your marriage take a new look at your partner. They may not be who you assumed they were--but neither are you. So you must allow room for each of you to evolve, and resolve! And be sure to include God in the process. Jesus said that a house built on the solid foundation of God's
Word will stand strong in the storm while others around it are falling apart (See Matthew 7:24-27). So today begin the process of recommitting to God--and each other.
