Whatever your struggles may be, you are never alone. Think of it this way: If God tells us to do something, He does not then make it impossible for us to do it. He provides the way for us to fulfill His will and to escape temptation (1 Corinthians 10:13). For example, God commands us to obey Him in respect to salvation, but He also empowers our obedience.
Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure. (Philippians 2:12-13)
If God, speaking through the Scriptures, tells a married couple not to divorce, He also provides the way for them to stay married. Each of them must want what God wants. They must learn His way to grow healthy relationships and to solve problems.
God has a special gift for His children. When people heard the Good News of Jesus, they asked what to do. Peter, as God’s messenger, said,
Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:38)
Peter was describing the new birth (John 3:3-5). The believer who repents and receives biblical baptism becomes God’s child and receives God’s Spirit (Romans 8:9; Galatians 4:6). As we continue to submit to God’s will, His Spirit works within us. He strengthens us spiritually (Ephesians 3:16). He develops within us the fruit of the Spirit.
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. (Galatians 5:22-23)
Think about each of these virtues. Love “binds everything together in perfect harmony” (Colossians 3:14). Joy and peace make a person easier to live with. Kindness, goodness and gentleness help relationships. Self-control keeps us from irritating behavior. Patience gives time to work out problems and to develop better habits. God’s Spirit transforms us to become more like Jesus (2 Corinthians 3:18). Thus, we have divine power for better lives individually and as married couples. May God bless you as you seek to have a satisfying marriage that is pleasing to God.
