Truths to Build Your Life

Fighting Spouses

I was thinking…

I heard recently of a fist-fight that broke out at a wedding, between newly wed spouses! I am told that they had to sleep in separate rooms on their wedding night.

Indeed, a troubled way to start a wedding. And certainly a terrible way to continue a marriage.

You’ve noticed that the ones closest to us can cause us the greatest pain. We have to find ways to overlook light offenses, the fender-benders of life. However, deeper offenses demand a strategic solution—forgiveness.

We can overlook stuff, but forgiveness ends stuff.

How can we go from being fighting spouses to becoming forgiving spouses? Here’s a hint: it is impossible to give horizontal forgiveness, unless we have received vertical forgiveness.

What do you think?

Life Rocks here,

It is very true and a grave reality that couples, the very night they were expected to enjoy the pleasure of honeymmon starts with petty fight and spoil the whole fun of life. The spirit of bitterness, stress and foolish ego have infiltrated at the hearts of people. Both and the young and old are caught up in this modern spiritual malady. Only, when we surrender to the perfect will of God and wrapped up in the humility of Jesus, things can get better and perfect.

Not only do the couples get into petty fights, but the inlaws add fuel to the fire causing the rejection, division and strife. We need to help the future newly weds by informing them to bring down the unseen enemies within both the households thru prayer and that they may have a blissful wedding night. Do war and then have peace. This great truth is seldom thought of during the excitement of preparations. It is a tough thing.

Bro. Arun Samuel, I do agree with you 100% that the in-laws play a key role in undermining a lot of the marriages. The relatives and in-laws etc etc play this role due to their envy, greed, selfishness, and yet some of them simply play the role out of sheer pleasure in destroying other's happiness. The devil comes to steal, destroy and to kill. So, the couples, first of all must be far away from the relatives to start their own life, if at all possible.
