Where is God in your relationship with your spouse/future spouse?
Is He in the forefront of the relationship?
Is He in the "first aid kit" (you know...just there when things are looking bad)
Is He in the backseat?
Have you ever invited Him to be the center of your relationship at all?
I am thankful for so many examples of Godly relationships that exists in our society today. Take a look around, I am SURE you can find a relationship that is built upon Godly principles and standards, and if you can't find anyone......."Houston we have a problem!"
You must surround yourself with positive people. Become the change you would like to see...be that loooong laundry list of attributes you expect your spouse to be!
The bible says in Ephesians 5:25 "Husband's love your wives, just as Christ loved the church, and gave himself up for her." Wow! What are you willing to give up to gain for this kind of love?
We must get out of our minds that we are "loosing" something whenever things don't seem to go "our way!" Put in, what you expect to get out of it!
You cannot be in a relationship with someone and not be willing to compromise. I don't want to go too deep but I will say this...
Search for things to make your spouse happy
Look for the good in your spouse
Don't spend time pointing out flaws or pointing fingers...self-evaluate
FIX YOU FIRST!!!
Most importantly, to those who are married, unless you have a God given, biblical reason to leave your marriage, seek God to know how He feels about marriage and divorce.
