MARRIAGE IS NOT FIFTY-FIFTY—YOU BOTH HAVE TO BE WILLING TO GIVE MORE!

Serve each other with love. Galatians 5:13.... We are called by God to long serve one another. Being married gives you the chance to serve another person every day, in ways both large and small. Don’t just give 50 percent, being content to pull your half of the load and worrying about whether your partner is pulling their half; give 100 percent of your effort. If you ask, God will provide you with the energy you’ll need. When you see something that needs to be done, don’t think about whose job it is- simply do it. And don’t seek accolades or gratitude or favors in return. Whatever you do, don’t keep score. Marriage is not a contest in which you and your spouse are pitted against one another. Rather, God has placed you on the same team so you can strive together in victory. How much more will you give today?
