I almost can hear someone say, ‘can one really have a model marriage?’ My answer is an absolutely yes. You can have a model marriage, but you have to be willing to work at it. Marriage is work, but God promised that our labor of love will be rewarded.

The work requires the input of both the husband and the wife. It is not supposed to be the sole responsibility of one spouse to do all the laboring. Both should labour for the marriage but in different aspect of the marriage.

Marriage requires hard work, commitment, sacrifice and like someone puts it, you have an appointment with 4 things,

1. Appointment with losing

2. Appointment with dying

3. Appointment with sacrifice

4. Appointment with suffering

All these look negative but in reality, they are just God’s way of developing our faith muscle and causing us to die to the flesh.

Did you miss out on yesterday’s devotional, we’ve got you covered kindly go HERE. For KHC video Devotionals kindly go HERE

It is not only women who need to lose, die, sacrifice and suffer, but both the husband as well as the wife.

A wife loses her life just to care for her children. So it’s not really losing, dying, sacrificing in terms of punishment but to gain something higher and worthwhile.

So also, you have to die to your own convenient ways or your opinions if things will work out In the marriage.

Tomorrow, I will point out some things the wives can do to have a model marriage.

God bless your marriage!
