Day 21 - His Marriage

There are so many things that can come between a marriage and drive a wedge between the two people that God joined together as one. I'm not even talking about the big things. It's the little things that happen daily that can cause bitterness. Don't let these things in.

Lord I thank you for my marriage. I pray that you keep us guarded to the things that try to pull us apart. Keep our priorities in line. Teach us how to love like you love us. Divorce is not an option. Help us to replace negative thoughts toward each other with positive. Help us to hold our tongue and not say things out of anger. Stir up the love for each other in our hearts. Help me to love when I don't feel like it. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Remember love is not a feeling, it is a choice. You choose to love your spouse. If you have only been seeing the negative, take a different picture. Vow for the next week not to say (or think) any negative thoughts toward your husband. If he is sitting on the couch and not helping you, if he doesn't want to do something you want to do, refrain from thinking negative. Just try it for one week.
