4 Keys to Shield Your Marriage Against Unhealthy Conflicts

4 Keys to Shield Your Marriage Against Unhealthy Conflicts

Marital conflicts always begin with the seemingly very trivial issues. If the couple do not handle them properly in a wise, loving and appropriate manner, they degenerate into more complex issues which become more difficult to resolve.

Christians must bear in mind that the devil intends to destroy as many Christian homes as he possibly can. If we resist his schemes, he will flee.

"Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." (James 4:7)

Your marriage must be shielded against unhealthy conflicts for the following reasons:

  • Your success as an individual is to a large extent tied to the comfort and happiness of your spouse.
  • Your productivity as a person is to a large extent dependent on the stability of your home.
  • Your reputation and dignity is inextricably bound to the health of your marriage.

When we forget the important things in our lives, we will deviate miserably and wreck our lives terribly.

To shield your marriage against unhealthy marital conflicts, you must always remember the following 4 keys:

  1. Remember God
Remember that Christ is at the center of your marriage. He is the One you need to please and not your selfish and fleshly inclinations.

  1. Remember your spouse
Remember that you love your spouse. Remember that you will not be happy to see your spouse dead or terribly ill.

  1. Remember yourself
Remember that you are better with your spouse. Remember that your spouse adds a lot to your life which is definitely not the same without him/her.

  1. Remember the devil
Remember that your real enemy is not your spouse but the devil. Remember that the only person who will rejoice over your broken home is the devil.

Be wise and shield your marriage against unhealthy conflicts.

Eyes are watching

Eyes are watching!!!!!!! Most things when done out of the sight of others, especially, things that are not worthy, what do we most of the times hear the perpetrators say; “nobody saw us or nobody was around”. Yes indeed, to them nobody saw them. But the most appropriate thing to be said is, “we did not see anybody around”, for all you know eyes are watching. The eyes that watch us one way or the other affect us, because a time will come when these same eyes are going to make decisions about us and pass out judgments. Yes, a time will come when the eyes that are monitoring and watching us will determine our future. One may ask in what way will these eyes determine our future? Let’s go to scripture and read something from there, ACTS 1:23, when the disciples had to replace Judas Iscariot, the bible says “so they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas and Mathias”. But before that, they had their criteria for choosing these two men. So you ask yourself how were the disciples able to c...

A Punctuation in History

 #BeInspiredToday 20-12-2022 A Punctuation in History The birth of Jesus has permanently altered the course of history in many ways, including how dates are recorded. The current global standard for the measurement of dates is known as the Gregorian calendar, named after Pope Gregory XIII, under whose tenure it was instituted. Both the Gregorian calendar, and its predecessor - the Julian calendar - are based on the supposed birth date of Jesus Christ. It was Dionysius Exiguus, a Christian monk, who first proposed in the year 525 that dates be recorded in reference to the birth of Jesus Christ, hence the invention of the acronyms BC ("Before Christ") and AD ("Anno Domini" - Latin for "In the year of the Lord"). In relatively recent times, some have tried to change this with the excuse that it is not fair to other religious faiths. But no matter who likes it or not, the birth of Jesus has become a globally accepted reference point for the reckoning of dates....

IS GOD SILENT OR WE ARE DEAF?

Erwin W. Lutzer in his book, Seven Reasons Why You Can Trust the Bible, narrates the story of Ingmar Bergman, a Swedish film director who one day stood next to a portrait of Christ in a cathedral in Europe and whispered, “Speak to me!” He only encountered dead silence after waiting enough while. It has been said Bergman was motivated by this experience to come out with a movie entitled Silence, which portrayed people who despaired in their attempt to seek God. Bergman’s frustration was evident in his words: “In our world, we hear only ourselves. No voice comes to us from outside the universe. When we seek a word from God, we are confronted with dead calm”. Well, a portrait of Christ cannot speak. It is only Christ himself who can speak. Imagine I take a photogragh of the prime minister of Britain and pose a question to it. I will certainly be confronted with dead silence. Does that mean Britain’s prime minister never speaks? If we cannot hear from God, the most logical conclusio...
