How To Avoid Distractions In Marriage

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Marriage requires a lot of hard work and focus. You must be so focused that all your thoughts are filled with how to make your home a success through hard work and holding on because the storms of life are real.

And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.

Mar 4:37 [KJV]

Woe to any marriage that does not have Christ in their marriage. Only Jesus is the calmer of every storm of life. When you have Him, the storms of life bow. He is the Prince of Peace and the only one qualified to say peace be still.

Usually, when storms come, their only aim apart from killing and destroying is to distract us.

And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
Mar 4:38-39 [KJV]

Storms distract us from our focus. A storm is anything contrary to the peaceful state of our marriage. A storm could come in form of a fight, strife, disagreement, sickness, pressures at work, pressure from the in-laws, unpaid bills, children, whatever affects our state of peace is a storm.

Whenever there is a storm, Jesus is inactive. May Jesus not be inactive in our home!

You have to be together as a couple and avoid distractions together. Your husband and Jesus in your boat are your main focus. Every other thing or person is a distraction.

God has a race set for each of us. That race should be our focus. Whatever will not help us in achieving our goal in marriage is a distraction.

You have to learn to stay by each other. Be a pillar of strength to each other and support yourselves to achieve your divine destiny.

Stand by your husband with your finances. Stand by your husband emotionally, don’t let him be vulnerable. Stand by him with encouraging words. Stand by him with your prayers. Stand by him by being obedient and in agreement or being agreeable with him.

God bless our marriage
