LEARN TO BEND AND NOT BREAK

Blessed is the man who trusts on the Lord, whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. Jeremiah 17:7-8.... Throughout you marriage life has a way of throwing a wrecking ball right in the middle of things. Business layoffs, family illnesses or injuries, financial crises, time pressures, break downs in close relationships, problems at work, misunderstandings at home- all these, and some far more devastating, threaten to snap a marriage n two and bring it crashing to the ground if a couple is unable to endure the blows. If your marriage is to survive you must possess a kind of supple strength. Sometimes supple strength involves a willingness to adapt to change. It means letting go of circumstances you are trying to control and leaving them to God. When the dust finely clears, the landscape around you may be drastically altered, but your marriage remains intact, standing firm, and continues to thrive in its new environment. Are there some places YOU need to bend in our marriage?
