More Tips To Having A Graceful Marriage

Reading Time: 2 minutes

We have been looking at the topic “Tips To Having A Graceful Marriage” for two days now and we will continue today.

God wants our marriages to be graceful. He wants us as husband and wife to glide on the wings of Grace.

There is an unforced rhythm of grace that belongs to every couple if we learn to watch Jesus, learn how he behaves and follow after Him.

The marital life is lived just by following the outline in His word.

The principle is ‘whatever He tells you to do, do it’ John 2:5

Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” – Matt 11:29-30 (MSG)

God wants us to walk with Him and work with Him. He wants us to keep company with Him and not be distracted in any way. As we do this, our marriages begin to enjoy the unforced rhythms of Grace.

We begin to glide and we find our relationship sweeter than ever.

Let’s conclude on the remaining points.

We have looked at:

1. Giving.
2. Respect
3. Accept
4. Compromise
5. Empathy

6. Forgive

It is in marriage that we get hurt the most. We don’t get as hurt with our colleagues at work, and our friends don’t hurt us as deeply as our spouse.

Because we live together and are committed to each other, our spouse hurt us so deeply. The issue is while we are trying to understand each other and minimize the hurt, we must forgive.

It is a must in marriage. We must come to a point where we practice advance forgiveness.

Settle it in your heart that there is nothing my spouse can ever do that will be difficult for me to forgive.

Most of us hold on to the error of our spouse. We must learn to forgive quickly and move on.

When we refuse to forgive, it is like a breach in the spirit.
With unforgiveness in our marriage, we open the door for the devil to afflict us.

May the devil not have access to our homes in Jesus’ name.

To be continued tomorrow.

God bless our marriage.
