Driving this morning and this was God's perfect timing, my Wifey and I had a tough argument yesterday, and this morning I was reminded to fight for my marriage not against it, the defeated devil hates marriage and wants to cause Division between marriages. Fight with God's truths

[@BitsyBee]

"Fight for my marriage, not against it," great summary, thanks!

[@ambivertical]

Well done brother

[@susanogletree3899]

Amen!

This woman has put into words exactly what I struggled with. Feeling so lonely at home like we were living completely separate lives and my husband was doing just fine without me. It made me feel normal to hear that I’m not alone in this. Thanks for sharing

I agree with you. My husband is a truck driver and he is driving across the country most of the week and I feel like we are going down opposite and parallel paths when we should be going down the sane path TOGETHER!!!😪😭

When spouses family suffer from lifelong trauma , death of mother, alcoholism.. and sibling jealousy’s.. the turning on the partner .. devil won ..such destructive powers Not this time Kick Satan out!!!!

We find so many Americans are too materialistic. Hence they hold onto the material or pride and ignore others.

Please pray for my marriage. I just want SOOOOOOOO BADLY for my husband to love me GOD'S WAY with His agape UNCONDITIONAL love and to have a heart of compassion for me; and I want to be able to talk to him about ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. We will be married 33 years this coming January and because he is a truck driver and he is driving across the country most of the week, we are separated more than we are together and I REALLY REALLY REALLY wish he would see what his job is doing to us. We hardly see each other and we hardly talk to each other and I KNOW this is not the way it is supposed to be and this is NOT God's plan for us. PLEASE pray for us.

How you see the battle determines how you fight it! Life changing words of wisdom! Thank you 🙏

[@discipleofchrist5217]

I'm going through a battle in my marriage as the Lord has woke me from a dead sleep & equipped me for the storm I was heading into in my marriage. It's been almost 4 years now since the storm started & and it's only getting worse. I just ordered my copy & I look forward to reading it. I'm currently separated "taking a break" for the 8th or 9th time in the past 3.5 years after 27 years together and were both 41 with 3 amazing children. I pray this book will give me some insight to healing & dealing with the storm in my merriage on even a greater & deeper spiritual level 🙏 Thank you so much for the great information & I could not agree with you guys more.

It is not the wedding RING that gets married couples thru struggles, but it is the suffer-RING

[@endtimesareuponus8930]

And suffering will get much worse. WEF promises "you will own nothing..."

Focus on the Family should do a book with those stories counselors hear and how they guide people that call their counselors. Thank you for another great program 👌🏼

The ring that keeps you together is not your wedding ring, it's suffe-ring.

[@mytreasuredcreations]

So true. I've been married for 21 years. Every time we go through a season of suffering and struggle, our marriage gets better. At first we struggle, then we remember we are supposed to draw toward each other. We pray as we struggle and we become more intimate. God's ways are higher than our ways. 🙌

The best comment I've ever heard about spouses not having an argument is their not being honest with each other. You have 2 people who might have different directions or opinions your going to argue

Let her answer the question!

[@johndurham8965]

Exactly what she talked about is what my Ex-wife did to me when I deployed and would come back. The resentment built a wall and lead to other bad things. She eventually filed for divorce when I found out about her affairs.

[@BitsyBee]

Great reminder to be aware of that resentment and check it. Thank you.

[@toddkeeran3479]

My Father is always at his work, and I, too, am working. We must choose to do God’s will. Ask the Father if his teachings were spoken through Jesus? Then turn to Jesus and abide in Him and he will reward you for what you have done. Blessed is he who does not stand in the counsel of men but delights in the word of the Lord. Pray that our flight will not take place in winter or on the sabbath. Seek our Father and His understanding. Ask that his Wisdom lead us in his path of righteousness. Knock bless you Father for blessing us with your Son and name Jesus.

So the husbands neglect the wives and then somehow they have to learn to be strong etc I can’t even finish watching this

[@aneber1811]

This podcast is really wise for healthy, reciprocal relationships where there are 2 involved and dedicated partners. It is wise. Part of identifying wisdom is knowing when to apply it. You don’t apply this to consistently neglectful or abusive relationships. So if you are neglected, guard that heart and filter this information.
