Is a Great Marriage Possible?

Contrary to popular belief, it is possible for us as couples to grow in our understanding of each other and to have healthy communication in our marriages, but for too many, this seems like an unattainable goal. To be honest, most of us have given up and have resigned ourselves consciously or unconsciously to just going through the motions in our marriages. Yet in John 10:10 Jesus promised us rich, fruitful and extravagant lives, but how many of us are living like He promised? Trust me, He wasn’t lying. This kind of living, these kinds of marriages are available to us, but how do we get there? Where do we start? As with everything in our lives, I believe we start with Jesus. And I hope you don’t think I’m being corny. I’m really being quite sincere, because there’s no way around this. There should be no way around this. Where are we in our relationship with Him? How are we allowing Him to mold and shape us through our difficult circumstances and relationships, through our partner? How’s your heart today? In Luke 6:45, Jesus says, “For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.” So before we can have any discussion about healthy communication in marriage, we need to tune into Him and check out the condition of our heart because our relationship with our spouse is a barometer of our relationship with Jesus.
