Dispelling the myths of marriage. Myth #2: My marriage can't be helped...

Myth #2: My marriage can't be helped...there is no hope for us. God has not changed. He is the same God yesterday as He is today! If God can raise the dead, heal the sick, cause the blind to see; then why don't you believe that He can heal your marriage? When you go to the doctor for an illness, you are expecting the doctor to give you something that will make you feel better and cure your symptoms. But what will happen if the doctor prescribes medication and you don't take it as prescribed? Chances are you won't feel better. The same is true with God. First, we have to go to Him with our symptoms (pray about our problems in the marriage) and then we have to take the medicine (obey God's Word) and expect that something will happen. There is always hope for your marriage...as long as the two of you are still breathing; there is hope!


1 Corinthians 2:11 states that, "Who ever knows what you’re thinking and planning except you yourself? The same with God—except that he not only knows what he’s thinking, but he lets us in on it "(MSG). Your spouse cannot read your mind; therefore, if something is wrong, they will only know if you tell them. Intimacy develops as you tear down the walls of defensiveness and become naked and unashamed before your spouse (Gen. 2:25). Stop believing the lie that the enemy is telling you - that there is no hope. There is hope for your marriage. Will the journey be easy? No. Nothing in life worth having is easy. Will there be stumbling blocks and will you get sidetracked? Possibly. But just like your Christian journey to build a better relationship with God...some days are going to be better than others. Don't give up! Keep pushing! Keep praying and reading God's Word! He does hear and answer His children (Ps. 116:1). There is hope for your marriage.

Dear Lord, I ask that you bless our marriages and heal them. Whatever problems we may have, I ask that you remove them now, in the name of Jesus. I ask that you come into our homes and quicken our spirits that we will want to have a deeper relationship with you; that we will take the time to read your Word and spend time with You. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
