I agree with you. If the "Ch...Dear Anonymous,<br /><br />I agree with you. If the "Christian" thing to do is just to grin and bear it, then that's not a great place to be. If the Christian thing to do is to love your enemies, forgive one another, be kind and compassionate, etc., then those are things that we must practice as believers regardless of the situation.<br /><br />The bottom line is that a marriage has to be moving in a direction. As I mentioned in the service on Sunday at Brookwood, you are either moving toward reconciliation or separation. If you keep short accounts, address problem behaviors, put selfishness aside and grow in your marriage, then you can make progress. If you let things go, continue to be selfish, and hope the problems just go away, then your marriage is headed toward separation.<br /><br />Marriage is a lot of work, but it is so worth it.<br /><br />I don't know who you are or what you have experienced. I would suspect that you have been in a very painful situation. I am praying for you and the hurts in your life. I don't know who you are, but God does.Allen Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02813013607341581179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8683513236118788539.post-81529050779551493302010-07-03T16:04:51.989-07:002010-07-03T16:04:51.989-07:00Not many comments here Alan, but please know that ...Not many comments here Alan, but please know that your posts hit home with me.

When one spouse is not willing and in fact needs to be held accountable for behavior, I think the loving and healthy thing is sometimes not assuming trusting God=a surviving marriage, but that trusting God=trusting God. Having patience and in the mean time making healthy, Godly choices (especially where children are involved) and knowing God doesn't need your marriage to succeed for his work to be accomplished. Sometimes your marriage is the "Christian" thing that just might be getting in the way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
