Friends, if you’re feeling like your marriage is falling apart, I want you to take comfort in this: Jesus’ hands are not only for comfort, but for healing. Radical healing. I’ve seen it in my marriage, and I believe it can happen in yours too.
Marriage is such a good gift from God, but we also know the enemy loves to attack it. Struggles are part of the journey, not because God is cruel, but because marriage is meant to refine us, not just to make us happy.
There have been times in my own marriage when I’ve wondered if we’d make it through. Times when honesty was the only thing holding us together. God was faithful. Step by step, He restored us.
Maybe your story looks different. Maybe you’ve been fighting for years and you’re weary. Maybe you’re still in the honeymoon phase and this all sounds foreign. Let me assure you: no matter what season you’re in, your marriage is worth fighting for.
I’ve seen it in my parents’ story, they separated for a year when I was in 6th grade, and by God’s grace, they found their way back to each other. They have now been married 50 years! It’s never too late for God to heal what’s been broken.
Remember your childhood best friend? You probably fought sometimes, maybe even daily, but then found your way back to playing in the sandbox together. Marriage has those moments too. What matters most isn’t avoiding conflict, but choosing how we respond to it, with respect, kindness, honesty, and compassion.
Wives, we are warriors. Not because we’re perfect, but because we are covered by the grace of the King. You are strong, you are able, and you can fight for your marriage, because He is fighting for you.
