What does a great marriage cost?

What does a great marriage cost? The price of a great marriage is growth. Jesus put it bluntly in Matthew‬ ‭19:11-12‬ ‭[MSG]‬‬ when He said, ‘Not everyone is mature enough to live a married life. It requires a certain aptitude and grace. Marriage isn’t for everyone…But if you’re capable of growing into the largeness of marriage, do it.’
.
Navigating our way successfully through married life takes skill. It requires us growing out of the single mindset and into the marriage mindset. Our ability to grow in the attitude and aptitude required to make marriage work will determine how successful we will be at it.
.
Sometimes, growth can be painful because it requires us to take full responsibility for our actions rather than being able to blame someone else. It challenges us to be selfless when we would rather not be. It calls us to summon our highest levels of creativity and bring them to bear on our marriage when we would prefer to coast along and accept whatever comes our way.
.
In what areas of your life have you been resisting growth? What one thing could you change today that will transform the atmosphere of your marriage? When we choose growth, we experience a new level of freedom to determine the outcomes of our marriage and we rise to the occasion with all our strengths and abilities. If you have chosen to say ‘I do’, you owe yourself no less than that.
