I discussed the topic “How To Overcome Hurt In Marriage” yesterday and today, I will be concluding on the topic.

We established that the enemy often seeks to use the weapon of hurt to wrought his 3 fold agenda in marriages which is to steal, kill and destroy. No marriage is immune to the strategies and attacks of the enemy. He will often steal from our marriages, kill and snooze out life from our marriage and totally destroy all that our marriage stands for.

Hurt is a blessing blocker. When you are hurt, your heart cannot receive from God.

Getting rid of hurts and making sure your heart is guarded against any form of hurt that may arise. See the spiritual implication of hurt and what it can potentially do to your marriage.

If you don’t learn to handle your hurts the right way, it will lead to bitterness, which can lead to rage which can lead to all sorts of vices like murder.

There is a right way and a wrong way of handling hurts. Make sure you are not a victim to the deadly poison of hurt.

Some wrong and unhealthy ways to handle hurt include:

1. Vengeance or retaliation.
This is when you allow the hurt to get at you so much that you act back based on the hurt. Retaliation could come in various ways, wanting to hurt your spouse back, or inflict pain.

2. Closing your heart
We have a tendency to block our hearts as a way of protecting our hearts from further hurts.

3. Rehearsing or replaying the hurt
We may also be in the rot of replaying the words or event that hurt us.

I know there are different levels and degree of hurt, but whichever, we have a responsibility of guarding our heart and we have a choice not to be hurt.

The best way to guard our heart against hurts is taking communion. Try it because it works so well. Take communion and plead the blood of Jesus over your heart.

Also take authority over the hurt. Exercise authority over words that cause hurts. Guard your heart against the effect of hurt using these two scriptures

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Luke 10:19 KJV

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.
Isaiah 54:17 KJV

Anytime there is a quarrel between couples and there are exchange of harsh words, you will do well to guard your heart against this hurt.

Even after you have made up and started talking, if not properly dealt with , you could still be nursing the hurt. Get rid of the hurt and don’t allow any root of bitterness defile you.

Let your heart be void of offence, bitterness or hurt against your spouse, siblings, parents, God, life, etc

God bless your marriage.
