Uncommon Marriage

As a man, as a husband, you carry a sacred calling. Your strength, your steadiness, your love—they shape the atmosphere of your home and the heartbeat of your wife. You are the covering God placed to protect, uplift, and anchor her soul. You don’t just provide, you breathe life into her peace, her joy, and her sense of security. I know this because I’ve felt the weight and wonder of this role, and I’ve seen how love expressed in quiet consistency speaks louder than a thousand words. Never underestimate the power of your presence in your wife’s world. You matter more than you realize.

Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her.

Forgiveness will set your marriage free from the chains which are holding it to the past. God wants to give your marriage a new beginning and a glorious future but He is waiting on you to initiate the process through forgiveness.

Yes, what your spouse did or is doing is wrong. Yes, you've been hurt beyond words. Yes, you have the reasons to justify your anger and the scars to justify your resentment. Yes, the Lord knows how many times you have tried and cried. Yes, forgiveness is not easy when you've been deeply hurt by someone you deeply love. But some of us have been carrying unforgiveness for so long that we don't even recognize the weight of it anymore, and yet it is still there, flavoring our character and contaminating our relationships. For others, our unforgiveness is so all-consuming that we can hardly see anything else.

The only way to see a better day for your marriage is through forgiveness. God never calls us to do the easy and comfortable. He calls us to do the right and holy!

Colossians 3:13 Bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.

"When a wife feels unloved, it can be such a shock to her heart that she is oblivious to her disrespectful reactions toward her husband, though any man watching could see plainly. When a husband feels disrespected, it can provoke him so quickly he doesn't see his unloving reaction, which would be obvious to any woman. Words of wisdom for all husbands and wives are these, 'We easily see what is done to us before we see what we are doing to our mate.'" - Emerson Eggerichs, Love and Respect

In a marriage conflict there are always three perspectives: his, hers, and God's. During a disagreement extending grace and mercy to your spouse will help you see from a perspective other than your own and that may be all that is needed to bring resolution. - Danny Delgado

Matthew 13:16 But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.
