You don’t have to forget to move forward. Learn how to create sacred spaces of remembrance at home, while gently supporting your spouse through their own rhythm of grief.
The thinking goes that if parents are unhappy in their marriage, they should split rather than remain in a relationship that exposes their children to resentment and conflict at home. But don't fool yourself. Conflict in your relationship with your spouse is unlikely to cease if you get a divorce. Instead, you will just expose your kids to a new form of conflict as you battle over custody, visitation, financial matters, and parenting disagreements.
Our entire lives are meant to serve the Lord, and we should not neglect this. As a married couple, you and your spouse have the opportunity to serve God in your church, on the mission field, and at home.
Do good for your spouse as often as possible. Be dependable, keep your word, and build a solid foundation of trust. Think of these Spiritual fruits as nourishment for the roots of your marriage and enrich the soil with as much goodness and faithfulness as possible.
The opposite of diligence is carelessness. It says we will get to that when we get to it, and when that logic is appliedto marriage, we often find that our marriages become overlooked. While marriage is a sweet gift, it's also veryeasilyput on the back burner as life grows fuller and fuller over time.
Make no mistake—there is a spiritual battle going on, waging war against intimacy in marriage. The enemy knows that if he can diminish the closeness God designed, division will eventually build a chasm far and wide.
You and your spouse will notice that the more you soak in God's Word and spend time with Him, the more joyful you will feel. Problems won't feel as monumental anymore because you know God is with you. By involving God in your life through prayer and active Bible reading, you and your spouse will also learn how to work through problems biblically.
