(Marriage 101)
KEYS TO A HEALTHY MARRIAGE II
3 John 1:2 KJV
“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”
There are things you will do that will threaten the health of your marriage. There are things which if you do not do, will kill your marriage. Also, there are things, if not brought to a halt; could destroy your marital health. Everything that upsets the peace of your home is killing your marriage and they constitute unhealthy practices. We saw an aspect of unhealthy practices a few days ago, and today we shall be looking at the other one.
2. CHARACTER HEALTH
This talks of your regular behaviour. It refers to your impulsive habits or your behavioural patterns. It is how you relate with your spouse. Your spouse is a direct recipient of your character flaws and strengths. Meanwhile, it is very important to understand that your marriage is as healthy as your character. Please Note that No spouse can take or tolerate a nasty character for too long. Every nasty and negative character will make a hardened person out of your spouse and when your spouse becomes hardened, damages then become irreparable. The point of hardness in your spouse is a point of no return. Nabal's character began to make Abigail wish him dead. (1Samuel 25:25-26). This means that she knew he was going to die. A spouse can determine to leave the marriage over a period of time if your character flaws are not consciously fixed and corrected.
God grant you the grace to continuously work on improving your character in Jesus Name.
Assignment
i. Apologize to your spouse today concerning any hurt you might have caused them due to your character flaws.
ii. Take a pen and paper and jot down all the areas of your character you have to improve upon, starting from now.
Prayer
- Lord, please save me from myself and from every terrible character or habit.
- Holy Spirit, help me overcome every character weakness that is trying to destroy my marriage in Jesus Name.
Nugget
Please Note! No spouse can take or tolerate a nasty character for too long; you will only make a hardened person out of them over time.
